We highly recommend using the Installation wizard we provide in your Tech Lockdown account dashboard. It will walk you through the installation process. You can use this tutorial for additional reference.

There are a few ways to connect your iPhone to your DNS Content Policy and you can combine both methods together:

1. Configuring iPhone network settings
   
2. Installing an App that enables an Always-on VPN

Mobile Config Generator

Using our .mobileconfig generator for iPhone, you can add a file to your iOS device that automatically configures your network settings.

Prerequisites:

Link your home network

---

Option A). Generate and Download a Config using your iPhone

You can complete the following steps all from your iPhone.

On your iPhone, login to your Tech Lockdown dashboard and go to Install > Config

Open our iOS DNS Config Generator  in a new tab in your iPhone's web browser

Copy/paste the connection information from the config install page in your Tech Lockdown dashboard over to the config generator

Tap the download button

Option B). Use your computer to generate a QR code and scan it with your iPhone

You can complete these steps using your computer and iPhone. 

On your computer, login to your Tech Lockdown dashboard and go to Install > Config

On your computer, open our iOS DNS Config Generator

Copy/paste the connection information into the fields in the generator

Generate QR Code

On your iPhone, open the camera and hover over the QR code until it prompts you to open a link and download a Configuration Profile.

---

After you used Option A or Option B, continue when you see the Configuration Profile Available popup.

Allow the download

You should get a message that says "profile downloaded"

Open the settings app on your iPhone. Go to Profile Downloaded if you see it.

If you don't see this, search settings for VPN & Device Management and go directly to that section.

In VPN & Device Management, select the Downloaded Profile

Install profile

Cloudflare One App

The Cloudflare One app can be used to configure an always-on VPN that keeps your device connected to your DNS Content Policy.

Download the Cloudflare One App from the App Store

If you are viewing this page on a desktop computer, scan the below QR code with your iPhone's camera to bring up the Cloudflare One download page in the App Store.

Login to Cloudflare Zero Trust

When you created your Cloudflare account, you created an organization name. When prompted, enter this in the app.

Next, you’ll need to choose the Member that you want to be signed in the device as. This should be your Tech Lockdown account email or another email address that you shared your account with.

Copy the pin that was sent to your email and enter it into the app

That’s it! You’re all set!

Bypass Prevention

After you've successfully connected your iOS device to your DNS Content Policy, the next step is to prevent this connection from being interrupted.

If you've installed the Cloudflare One Agent on your iOS device, the app establishes its connection to your Content Policy with the help of a VPN. This VPN is created and enforced automatically by the app. However, we strongly recommend taking a look at several techniques that can ensure that this app can't be uninstalled.

You can choose to also install the DNS configuration profile on your iOS device. This changes the DNS settings of your device and can work in addition to the Cloudflare One Agent. 

We go over many more detailed steps that you can take in our bypass prevention guide for iOS.
