Content & URL filtering

Hello team,

I am developing a security app where I am denying certain flows/packets if the are communicating with known malicious endpoints. Therefore I want to make use of NetworkExtensions such as the new URLFilter or ContentFilter (NEURLFilterManager, NEFilterDataProvider, NEFilterControlProvider).

  1. Does NEURLFilterManager require the user's device to be at a minimun of ios 26?
  2. Does any of these APIs/Extensions require the device to be managed/supervised or can it be released to all consumers?

Thanks,

Yes.

This varies based on a bunch of factors. TN3134 Network Extension provider deployment has all the details.
