This made me discover Apple’s Settings profiles, and how this can replace complete apps such as Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 (for the DoH part, not for wrap).
Are there any other common tricks to use settings profiles instead of apps on iOS?
- vulcan01 6y agoPart of the point of Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 is being able to easily switch back to the default when necessary (like when at the office).
- sneak 6y agoConfiguration profiles can list a set of Wi-Fi networks to exclude from your DoH config, for exactly this reason.
- giuliomagnifico 6y agoExactly. The only downside is if you change your SSID often, then you have to make a new profile. Not my case BTW.
- gh123man 6y agoSure! Go install "Apple Configurator 2" on your mac and start exploring the different profiles/configs you can push to your iDevice. Anything an MDM provider can do to an iDevice, you can do yourself as well. There are even GUI tools for most profile configurations. The author could have also pushed the profile via configurator instead of going through the "email and download" process. Here is the complete list of profile configurations you can set: https://developer.apple.com/business/documentation/Configuration-Profile-Reference.pdf https://developer.apple.com/business/documentation/Configura... (I worked on apple MDM products for 4 years)
- giuliomagnifico 6y agoDon't know if it's a trick but I'm using NextDNS profile on iOS and macOS when not at home with Pi-Hole: https://apple.nextdns.io/ https://apple.nextdns.io/ (I prefer it than expose my Pi-Hole)
