I need to develop a web proxy for IOS, this proxy will prevent browsing and dealing with adults sites from any browser or application in the device this web proxy installed on.
I am a .net developer and new in iPhone development.
How to develop this application?
What's the idea of this app?
THis is an exmaple for the application I means:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/webprotectme-safe-browser-with-parental-control/id887683765?mt=8
Doing an on-device proxy is not really feasible. Such a proxy would require unbounded background execution time, and iOS does not allow that.
There’s two common approaches to this:
Global HTTP proxy
Network Extension content filters
IMPORTANT Both of these require that the device be supervised.
Global HTTP proxy is configuration profile payload (
com.apple.proxy.http.globalNetwork Extension content filters are implemented via an app extension that you bundle within your app. A good place to get started with this is WWDC 2015 Session 717 What's New in Network Extension and VPN.
Share and Enjoy
