SkieCan my child change the date, reset the network or swap the SIM to escape the rules?
No. Date and time are locked to automatic, network reset is blocked, and if someone resets all settings, Skie re-applies its protections within seconds. The rules do not depend on the SIM, so a SIM from another phone changes nothing.
Children try the clock first. Moving the date forward is an old trick against a time limit or a trial. On a Skie-managed device, automatic date and time and automatic time zone are forced on and locked, so the clock cannot be set by hand. Schedules follow a trusted clock, not the one on the screen.
Next is the network. A child may open network settings hoping to clear a DNS or VPN setting. Skie blocks the Private DNS setting, VPN setup, network reset, and changes to mobile network settings. It can lock airplane mode and Wi-Fi settings too, as options.
If a child finds the Reset all settings option and uses it, Skie undoes the effect. The protections are re-applied within seconds by the self-heal check, and the device reads each one back from Android to confirm.
A different SIM does nothing to the rules. The rules sit on the device, not on the SIM, and the filter is a DNS locked on the phone. Skie does not include a SIM, and does not care which carrier you use.
A hotspot from another device makes no difference either, because the filter is on the device. Creating a hotspot from the managed device is blocked as well.
You can see how it is going on the dashboard. The compliance score shows each protection and when the device was last seen. If something drops, you see which one.
