Facebook/Google ' Research' VPN

[JimMalandruccol]

With the news of the Facebook and Google VPN using an enterprise certificate to get around Apple privacy rules coming out this week (https://techcrunch.com/2019/01/29/facebook-project-atlas/), I wanted to find out how many of our managed devices (around 700) have installed this and let the InfoSec team have a discussion with them.

I did find two previous versions of the Facebook VPN, Onara Protect and Onara Extend, but nothing related to the new version. It looks like Facebook was using a profile called Facebook Research 2.0 to sideload the app, but in testing and verifying with Support, we do not have the ability to pull a report of third party profiles installed on devices.

Does anybody have a better idea to find these potentially installed profiles than scroll through every device's profile list? It might be easier to find with the App Name or App Identifier, but no luck finding that information yet.

I do not have a good way for you to pull a report. What I would recommend is you enforce the restriction setting to disallow the user from manually installing profiles.

Have you tried just pulling a report of all the apps on all your devices and just take the time to comb through it?
