How the Apple iPod touch®, iPad® and iPhone® Filter Works…
Filtering profiles created by your school define filter settings for your Apple mobile devices. When a student accesses the Internet, Anywhere Filter communicates with your BASCOM filtering solution utilizing a lightweight protocol that filters Internet content without slowing down communication. The requested URL is quickly checked against the active filtering profile. If a student attempts to access a site that isn’t allowed, a blocked message displays on the device.
