What kind of blockage did you set up? A hijacking 404/403 HTTP response, or are you dropping IP packets to the www.apple.com IP addresses? If your router blocking is implemented on the HTTP level, then obviously you would see the same result as everyone just did when that URL returned 404.
I'd be more interested in learning how iOS reacts when TCP (HTTP) connections to that URL time out, or are treated as a closed port.
- christoph 14y agoI just went to the parental access control section on the router (a free router the ISP gave me) and set apple.com to block. I guess if you're a large corporate and you don't want iPads/iPhones using your wifi, this is an absolutely great way to block them with zero effort!
- vbmnbv 14y agoDo you have an option to redirect said URL? If so, this would make a great vector for attack on all Apple iOS devices. 1. Hijack router 2. Set up a rule 3. Watch and wait
