iCloud services when using a whitelist

[TheDad]

I have parental controls set to only allow a whitelist. This, however, stops iCloud services like Email using Apple Mail from working. Is there a list of URLs that can be added to the whitelist field to allow iCloud services? Right now I have:

*.icloud.com (not sure if wildcards are allowed)
icloud.com
www.icloud.com
mail.me.com
*.mail.me.com
*.me.com

Thanks!

You can try omitting the wildcard, i.e., use “me.com” instead of “*.me.com”, etc. If you’ve listed me.com, then there’s no need to list mail.me.com, http://…me.com etc.

Right now there’s no sure way to tell which domains are blocked and need to be opened up. But we are adding that function now, and hopefully will be available soon.

Looking forward to that added functionality. Thanks!
