iOS Deployment
Blocksi offers two distinct iOS apps that are deployed and managed differently.
Blocksi Filter uses a per-app VPN with HTTPS inspection and is deployed with a Per-App VPN configuration profile. Blocksi Filter supports granular YouTube filtering and keyword filtering.
Blocksi for iOS uses the native iOS content filter and is deployed with a Content Filter configuration profile. Blocksi for iOS does not support YouTube filtering or keyword filtering.
Both apps can filter organization-wide, by serial number, or by user. The table below compares the two apps in more detail.
