Hi everyone,
Our app helps users block adult websites to promote focus and digital wellness. During the App Store review, it was flagged under Guideline 2.5.1 for using a VPN profile to block content, with Apple advising us to remove this feature.
Since blocking adult content is core to our app, we’re looking for compliant alternatives:
Can Network Extensions Framework (e.g., NEDNSProxyProvider) be used for on-device filtering?
Would pre-configured safe DNS (e.g., CleanBrowsing) be acceptable?
Are there compliant examples of similar apps?
Any advice on achieving this functionality within Apple’s guidelines would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
