Clarification on content filter limitation
I am seeking clarification regarding the capabilities and limitations of deploying content filter profiles, such as web content filters, on unsupervised iOS devices through MDM solutions. Specifically, is per-app content filtering supported on unsupervised devices, or is it restricted to supervised devices only? If such restrictions exist, are there recognized workarounds? Additionally, I would like to understand if there are specific permissions or entitlements that enable apps to perform advanced filtering or monitoring functions on unsupervised devices. Any guidance or references to official documentation would be greatly appreciated.

can control filter extension make outbound UDP Connections?
I'm new to Control Filter Extensions and have a question about their network capabilities. I'm building an app that processes network data and need to send some results to a remote server. My main questions: Are Control Filter Extensions officially permitted to make outbound UDP connections? I want to confirm this is a supported capability before implementing the network export functionality. What specific entitlements are required for outbound network access? Currently using content-filter-provider - do I need additional network-related entitlements? Are there any restrictions or considerations for UDP data export in production vs development builds? I want to ensure I'm following Apple's guidelines and using the correct entitlements for this type of data export from a Control Filter Extension. Any guidance on the official network capabilities and required setup would be greatly appreciated!

Lifecycle of Filter control Provider
How often do we see control filter start and stop? I read somewhere that data filter is long lived and control Filter is short lived. When does the operating system kills the control filter process?

Inspecting UDP Traffic with iOS Content Filters: Supported API Capabilities?
Is it possible to capture or inspect UDP traffic using iOS content filter APIs (e.g., NEFilterDataProvider)? If not, what are the current technical or policy limitations that prevent UDP inspection via these frameworks? Any insights or suggestions on these topics would be highly appreciated.
