Android WiFi Profile managing proxy setup automations or mass changes?

B

***

Hello MDM Friends,

i was curious how SOTI can help to handle defaults for such settings like Proxy Setting on Android Devices.

First, i dont like the fact that Google is forcing the proxy setup on the WiFi connection only, but that is another topic.

Do you know any better way? please let me know.

 

Until than i would like to know if we are forced to chnage all WIFI profiles if the proxy changes, or if SOTI can help and let us use some form of variables that can be used to set up the proxy value on the wifi profile or something similar?

 

Thanks and have a great day

The proxy in Wifi settings doesn't accept variables like custom attributes.

Why not using a wpad file and point to that?
Then you only need to change it in that file and devices grab it themselves.

 

A bit out of scope but just to have some thoughts on:

I don't know your use case and in what kind of area the devices are but ever thought of (per-app) VPN instead (i know it could be overhead)?
VPN would be system wide and can be limited also to target certain apps (or other way around) and might do what you want as well depending on your usecase.
There's official wireguard open source app which can be aligned to your needs and is not as heavy as others as far as i know.
