    One of the ways I got around my parent’s settings after getting caught by simply resetting their password was by using alternate operating systems on livecds

    Saying they literally can’t be bypassed is why I’m saying it’s naive to trust them implicitly

      So… are you going to link the live cd that works on iPhones or just going to continue talking about the net nanny days? iOS is locked down. Nothing is bulletproof but a child isn’t going to find a way around it.

        I only know how to get around my employer’s device settings for iOS. I would have to have access to your phone to try to get around them

        The issue I have with your comment is “a child isn’t going to find a way around it” I was much more motivated to find a way around settings my parents set on devices when I was a child, and I definitely shared how to do it with my friends

        Maybe your settings are secure, but it’s not trivial for most parents
