8 Finding and creating a whitelist that ensures necessary stuff gets done
9 without allowing people to bypass blocks is almost impossible. Getting
10 around these sorts of blocks isn't a matter of theoretical possibility,
11 it's a matter of someone putting in enough time and effort into
12 bypassing it. If you don't have complete control over all devices all
13 the time, you might as well just give up.
