With RULE-SET,apple,DIRECT, some Apple subdomains are not in apple.txt and fall through to proxy (e.g. RULE-SET,proxy or MATCH). Others like ocsp2.apple.com are in apple.txt and go direct. Same account ends up with mixed direct/proxy traffic and different IPs, which can trigger Apple’s risk controls.
Examples:
| Domain |
In apple.txt |
Routing |
| ocsp2.apple.com |
Yes |
Direct |
| 11-courier.push.apple.com |
No |
Proxy |
| gsa.apple.com |
No |
Proxy |
Suggestion: Add +.push.apple.com to apple.txt so all *.push.apple.com (e.g. 11-courier) are covered. Optionally add +.apple.com as a catch-all for other subdomains like gsa.apple.com.
