# How to Set Up tvOS Global HTTP Proxy

Set a global HTTP proxy to ensure that all network traffic between the supervised Apple TVs and the internet flows through a secure proxy server. This protects the tvOS devices from security attacks from external sources. To remotely apply HTTP proxy globally configurations on Apple TVs through Hexnode UEM, you need to be subscribed to Enterprise or Ultimate plans.

 Note: Works on **tvOS 10.2+**.

 

 
To get proxy configured globally, 1. Select **Policies** from **Hexnode** console
2. Click on **New Policy** to create a new policy, or continue with an existing policy.
3. Go to **Apple TV** and configure **Global HTTP Proxy.**
