Block Web Proxy/ VPN with Adult Content Detox

Feature Request🍏 iOS

Idea:

Expand the irreversible Adult Content Detox feature by integrating an optional block for online web proxy services (excluding VPNs). This aims to close one of the most accessible loopholes users might use to bypass content filters.

Why:

Web proxies are often the easiest workaround, especially for less tech-savvy users. Blocking them strengthens the integrity of the irreversible detox feature and helps users stay committed to their goals without easily falling back.

How:

Start by collecting and maintaining a list of the most popular free and paid online web proxy domains (e.g. Hide.me, CroxyProxy, KProxy, etc.). These domains can be included in the blocklist applied during detox mode. Ideally, this list would be updated regularly — e.g. manually, via user suggestions.

    This is the exact feature I was going to request. Just using apple screentime allows you to lock most porn sites and you can get a friend to put in a different passcode. However, there are so many web proxy sites which can be used to bypass the adult content filter and it is impossible to keep up with them. You may add a new url to the block list but another site can be found so easily. an option to block urls with keywords (e.g. proxy) may be a good workaround for this.
