iPadWebFilterThatActuallyWorks
Proxy-based filtering with full SSL inspection. Not DNS. Not browser extensions. Real HTTPS decryption that catches what others miss.

Built for iPad from day one
Proxy-based architecture designed specifically for Apple's ecosystem — MDM-deployed, supervised-device aware, and HTTPS-inspecting.
Proxy-Based iPad Filtering
Every request passes through KyberGate — not just DNS
Unlike DNS-only filters, KyberGate routes all iPad traffic through a forward proxy. This means full URL inspection, not just domain-level blocking. We see the complete request path — including encrypted HTTPS traffic — giving you visibility that DNS filters simply can't match.
Zero-Touch MDM Deployment
Push proxy profiles to every iPad in minutes
Deploy KyberGate's proxy configuration via your existing MDM — Jamf, Mosyle, ABM, or any MDM that supports mobileconfig profiles. The PAC file, CA certificate, and proxy settings are pushed silently. Students can't remove them on supervised devices.
Full SSL/TLS Inspection
See inside HTTPS — catch what DNS filters miss
KyberGate's trusted CA certificate lets us decrypt, inspect, and re-encrypt HTTPS traffic in real time. This catches proxy bypass attempts, embedded game URLs, and evasion techniques that are completely invisible to DNS-only filters like GoGuardian or Securly.
Smart PAC Routing
Intelligent traffic routing — bypass what you trust
KyberGate's PAC file intelligently routes traffic: educational domains go direct for speed, while everything else passes through the proxy for inspection. Customizable per school, per grade level, per device group. Updated automatically via MDM.

KyberGate vs iPad Filters
DNS-only filters see the envelope. KyberGate reads the letter.

GoGuardian, Securly, and Lightspeed use DNS-only filtering on iPads. Mosyle has basic content filtering built into MDM but lacks SSL inspection.
Why iPads Need Proxy Filtering
iPads don't support browser extensions — GoGuardian's agent can't run
iOS restricts VPN-based filtering to supervised devices only
DNS-only filters can't see HTTPS content on any platform
Students use iCloud Private Relay to bypass DNS filters
Proxy-based filtering works on supervised AND unsupervised iPads
PAC file deployment is natively supported by every MDM
KyberGate CA cert enables full SSL inspection on managed devices
Off-campus filtering works without a VPN tunnel
What DNS Filters Miss on iPad
HTTPS page content — can't see what's inside encrypted pages
Proxy bypass sites — students use web proxies to tunnel around DNS
Google Translate abuse — loading blocked sites through translate.google.com
Embedded iframes — games hidden inside Google Sites and Docs
URL path filtering — can't block specific YouTube videos
Search query analysis — can't see what students are searching for
WebSocket tunnels — real-time proxy bypass via websocket connections
iCloud Private Relay — Apple's built-in DNS bypass feature
Frequently Asked Questions
“We tried GoGuardian and Securly on our iPads — students bypassed both within a week using web proxies. KyberGate's proxy-based approach caught every single bypass attempt on day one. It's the only filter that actually works on iPad.”
