Set up a proxy on Apple TV
in seconds.
The quest is over — setting up traffic capture on Apple TV used to be an hour of lost pairings and manual profiles. ProxyBeam makes it three moves: drag, copy, open.
One prerequisite: tvOS only accepts a device-wide proxy profile on a supervised Apple TV — a one-time setup with Apple Configurator.
Good to know
ProxyBeam hosts the profile on a local server in your Wi-Fi network or sends it straight to a paired Apple TV. No cloud service and no account — your certificate, profiles and traffic never leave your network.
The generated .mobileconfig is a regular Apple profile: it sets the device-wide HTTP proxy and installs your proxy's root certificate — you enable trust for it yourself on the device. A device-wide proxy profile installs only on a supervised Apple TV — a one-time setup with Apple Configurator.
While the profile is installed, the Apple TV routes its HTTP(S) traffic to your Mac — both must stay on the same network and the proxy app must be running.
Charles Proxy, Proxyman, mitmproxy — ProxyBeam works with any debugging proxy that can export a .cer root certificate.
Pair the Apple TV with your Mac once and ProxyBeam sends the profile straight to it — no typing a URL with the remote. Apple TVs already paired in Apple Configurator or Xcode show up automatically. How it works
ProxyBeam stores your proxy's root certificate in the macOS Keychain, not in a plain settings file that other apps could quietly swap.
