Yes, you can install an unsigned profile on your device, but you will be warned that it isn't signed. To proceed, you'll have to manually trust the profile in Settings > General > Profiles & Device Management. Please ensure the profile comes from a trusted source to avoid potential security risks.

Does the device allow you to trust an unsigned profile?

Does the device allow you to trust an unsigned profile?

Yes, iOS devices allow you to trust an unsigned profile, but they will give a warning about it not being verified. You can trust it by going to Settings > General > Profiles & Device Management, then select the profile and tap "Trust". Be cautious, as this could potentially expose your device to security risks.

What are the manual steps to create an iPad configuration profile for DNS-over-HTTPS?

What are the manual steps to create an iPad configuration profile for DNS-over-HTTPS?

Creating a configuration profile for DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) manually involves a few steps. Here's a simplified process:

1. Create a .mobileconfig file using a text editor. This file is in XML format and specifies the configuration settings for your device.

2. In the .mobileconfig file, you'll need to include a section for DNS settings. This should specify the URL of your DoH server (for example, "https://dns.cloudflare.com/dns-query" for Cloudflare).

3. Save the .mobileconfig file.

4. Email the .mobileconfig file to an account that you can access on your iPad.

5. Open the email on your iPad and tap the .mobileconfig file attachment.

6. Follow the prompts to install the profile.

Please note that this is a simplified explanation and creating a .mobileconfig file manually requires knowledge of XML and the specific structure that Apple uses for these files. It's usually easier to use a tool like Apple Configurator or iMazing Profile Editor to create these files.

I configured AdGuard to use Cloudflare Gateway DNS for DNS protection. I installed Cloudflare's configuration profile on the iPad so Cloudflare can show a block screen for restricted sites. Filtering HTTPS websites: any potential conflicts?

Using AdGuard with Cloudflare Gateway DNS for DNS protection and installing Cloudflare's configuration profile on your iPad should generally work well together. However, potential conflicts could arise if both are trying to filter the same content.

AdGuard may interfere with Cloudflare's blocking page if it's also set to block the same content. In such cases, you might not see Cloudflare's block page as expected.

Also, if both are set to use different DNS-over-HTTPS servers, the one set by the system profile (Cloudflare, in your case) will likely take precedence.

For the best results, ensure both are configured to complement each other and not duplicate the same settings.

Does AdGuard use a self-signed certificate for HTTPS filtering? The Cloudflare configuration profile installation includes a self-signed certificate. Could there be problems when filtering HTTPS websites?

Does AdGuard use a self-signed certificate for HTTPS filtering? The Cloudflare configuration profile installation includes a self-signed certificate. Could there be problems when filtering HTTPS websites?

Yes, AdGuard does use a local, self-signed certificate for HTTPS filtering. This allows it to decrypt and inspect HTTPS traffic for ad tracking scripts.

If you're also using a Cloudflare configuration profile that includes a self-signed certificate, both can coexist, but there might be potential conflicts.

If both are trying to filter the same traffic, it could lead to issues like redundant filtering or one service overriding the other. To avoid such issues, it's recommended to properly configure both services to ensure they complement rather than conflict with each other.
