iOS Automatic Downloads
Does anyone here know how to stop iPads & iPhones from automatically downloading updates to iOS ?
Forum Discussion
Turns out my mobile data router has a preset option for openDNS. But otherwise, a custom DNS could easily be specified. So checked whether it would block a sub-domain as it would need to do in order to block mesu.apple.com. Used forum.trailerlife.com as a test, and openDNS did block traffic request with this warning:
But does not effect traffic to trailerlife.com, except for forums, so still have access to the site.
Again, this may be effective in blocking auto iOS downloads to all devices using your MiFi device. But needs to be tested.
As a reminder, you will also need to change the reference IP address if traveling. But literally takes less than a minute.
In addition, openDNS does provide an app for Windows/MAC/Linux to do so automatically, but need a PC to do so.
