Deploy proxy server on iOS

Is it possible to create an app on iOS - proxy server?

Probably not in a way that you’ll find useful. The main sticking point relates to running in the background. iOS provides no general-purpose mechanism for running in the background indefinitely, which limits the amount of time that your app can provide such a service.

iOS does provide specific support for this sort of thing (like Network Extension app proxy and content filter providers), but I doubt they’ll be appropriate for your needs. Specifically:

• Per-app VPN (of which app proxy providers are one example) is limited to managed devices

• Content filters are limited to supervised devices

You can learn more about these technologies by watching WWDC 2015 Session 717 What’s New in Network Extension and VPN.
