Good afternoon,
We are reevaluating our content filter products for our macOS devices and hoping to find a solution that could potentially work with both macOS and iOS devices when students are off-campus.

What has worked for schools/districts now that more devices are going home?

Thank you,
Nick

Some sort of Proxy PAC URL service?

We manage around 4,000 iOS devices with a content filter called DrawBridge. It is produced by a company called Compass Foundation, it works well for us. It works through the Proxy PAC URL so you can filter both on premise and remotely. We also use the same content filter on Mac and Windows devices with really good results.

We've been using the Cisco Umbrella for Macs and iPads and GoGuardian for Chromebooks. Both work just fine on and off prem.
