Accountability / Screen Time loopholes

Is there a way to passcode lock the ability to delete a VPN? (Not turn the VPN off)


Apple currently has rather easy to exploit loopholes for most screen time and accountability apps which use VPNs to monitor device activity. Several popular accountability apps paired with screen time can prevent you from turning the VPN off, but nothing can prevent you from deleting the VPN altogether, which renders the whole device monitoring ineffective.

iPhone SE, iOS 15

Hi blackpolarbear,


At this time, Apple doesn't have a passcode lock feature to prevent deleting a VPN. If you'd like to leave product feedback, use this link: Product Feedback.


Cheers.
