Setting DNS proxy for iOS and macOS apps

The DNS proxy settings the app uses depends on:

• The label to which the DNS proxy setting is applied (if the DNS proxy is applied to a label).
• The assigned priority of the DNS proxy setting in the DNS proxy field of the app.
• The first DNS proxy listed in the right-hand column of the DNS proxy Settings has the highest priority; the last DNS proxy has the lowest priority.

To rearrange the DNS proxy settings’ priorities in the right-hand column (set of selected DNS proxy settings), drag the setting names to the correct positions in the list. You can also use the up and down arrows.

The priority of DNS proxy settings applied to labels is higher than DNS proxy settings that are not applied to labels. For example, suppose the app lists DNS1, DNS2 and DNS3 as the possible DNS proxy settings in the right-hand column (set of selected DNS proxy settings).

• If DNS1 and DNS2 are applied to labels and DNS3 is not, then DNS1 is assigned to the app when the DNS proxy list order is:
  • DNS1 (applied to label)
  • DNS2 (applied to label)
  • DNS3
• If DNS1 and DNS2 are applied to labels and DNS3 is not, then DNS1 is assigned to the app if the DNS proxy list is:
  • DNS3
  • DNS1 (applied to label)
  • DNS2 (applied to label)

The Apps tab in device details (go to Devices & Users > Devices and click the caret to see the device details) lists the activated DNS proxies for the device so that device users and administrators can easily view which DNS proxy the app is using on that device.

DNS proxy is not supported for iOS apps when Ivanti EPMM is configured for MAM-only iOS devices.
