Safari is the standard browser for Apple devices on macOS and iOS, combining convenience and stable performance. If you need to access geo-restricted websites or maintain maximum anonymity, setting up a proxy server is the optimal solution.

A proxy helps bypass blocks, change your IP address, hide network activity, and enhance personal data security. This method is often used for managing multiple accounts or for SMM tasks.

Setting Up a Proxy in Safari on macOS

  1. Click the Safari icon at the top of your desktop and select “Settings”.
Selecting Settings in the Safari Browser
  1. In the new window, go to the “Advanced” tab and click “Change Settings” next to the “Proxies” line.
In Advanced Settings, select "Change Proxy Settings"
  1. In the window that opens, select the proxy you purchased (HTTP/ HTTPS/ SOCKS).
HTTP is selected in the proxy settings section
  1. In the window that opens, enter the IP address and port of the selected proxy server. If authorization is required, activate the option and enter your login and password.
