I understand if I jailbreak the Apple IOS device, I could gain the superior privilege for the host file amendments. If I do not use jailbreak method, can I use an external proxy server/services to accomplish my task. &nbsp;<br />

Thanks for your prompt reply in advance. &nbsp;<br />

In the Wifi settings, click on the wifi network you want to connect to, then on the &quot;i&quot; in the circle to get full info. Scroll down to the DNS settings. You can delete the default ones and replace them with a DNS server of your choosing.

Our organization need to do some DNS related testing using the Apple Iphone / Ipad IOS device. Anyone knows on an Apple iPhone platform is it possible to use a Local Host File just like the Windows OS or a Local DNS service with a predefined testing DNS A record. This is to help us to enable testing on the IOS device DNS resolution while no need to alter or create any Public Internet DNS record on a public exposed DNS server. <br />
<br />
Your technical advice is much appreciated.<br />

IPHONE/IPAD Local Host File possibility

The iPhone is a smartphone made by Apple Inc. It and the iPad, along with several other mobile devices from Apple, run on the iOS operating system, which has its own topic, as does the iPad for device-specific questions. Native iOS applications are written in Objective-C or in Swift using the Cocoa Touch frameworks or HTML5 compiled with the help of a package manager such as Adobe PhoneGap; a common IDE is Xcode.

iPad is an iOS-based line of tablet computers built around the device's multi-touch screen, including a virtual keyboard. The iPad includes built-in Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity on select models. An iPad can shoot video, take photos, play music, and perform Internet functions such as web-browsing and emailing. Other functions – games, reference, GPS navigation, social networking, etc. – can be enabled by downloading and installing apps.

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.

Programs written for the Apple operating systems are distinguished from software created for other operating systems in that it must be approved by Apple for use on its devices, whether it is from Apple (Final Cut, iWork, Keynote, Logic Pro and GarageBand are popular titles), or is a third party application from Parallels, Nuance, Microsoft and Amazon, among many others.
