Android devices bring a high degree of customization and configurability, giving you a few methods that can help you prevent your Content Policy from being bypassed.

Enforce the Cloudflare One VPN

This is a summary of how you could enforce the content filtering VPN connection which is enabled by the Cloudflare One app.

A) Standard

We recommend enabling managed mode for more reliable enforcement.

If you can't enable managed mode:

Use an App Hider or app launcher downloaded from the Play Store to hide the Cloudflare One app.

Use an App Locker downloaded from the Play Store to restrict access to the Cloudflare One app (or to the App Hider).

Use an App Blocker downloaded from the Play Store to block Android settings.

B) Managed

Specify the option to Prevent Uninstalling Apps or protect the Cloudflare One app specifically.

Lock the device's VPN configuration to Cloudflare One.
