iPhone / iPad WireGuard Setup Guide

Most people need nothing installed here. A ProxyLink proxy link is an ordinary HTTPS URL, so it opens in Safari on an iPhone or iPad exactly as it does on a desktop, including browser RDP, VNC and SSH. Install the WireGuard app only if you are an MSP engineer who wants to reach devices by their LAN address directly.

1

Open your proxy link in Safari

Sign in at app.proxylink.dev and tap any device. Browser RDP, VNC and SSH all work on iOS, with touch support: tap to click, and press and hold to drag.

2

Add ProxyLink to your home screen

In Safari, tap Share and choose Add to Home Screen. ProxyLink is a progressive web app, so it opens full screen with no browser chrome and behaves like a native app. There is nothing to install from the App Store.

3

Optional: WireGuard for direct LAN access (MSP tier)

If you are on the MSP tier, a team manager can issue you a personal VPN profile under Teams → VPN. That single profile reaches every device you are allowed to see, across every client site, at its real LAN address.

Install WireGuard from the App Store, then tap +Create from file or archive and pick the .conf you downloaded. Toggle it on and tap Allow when iOS asks to add a VPN configuration.

Good to know

You cannot add a phone as a managed device, and that is deliberate. ProxyLink exists to reach servers, routers, NVRs, PBXs and PCs. A phone is the thing you reach them FROM, not a thing worth remote controlling.
iOS asks you to authenticate with Face ID or Touch ID each time you toggle a VPN on or off. That is an OS-level requirement, not a ProxyLink one.

What you get once the tunnel is up
