Save the settings, join the Wi-Fi, and when the "Activation" screen pops up, hit the "Back" button. You should be redirected to the DNS portal. Method 3: Hardware-Based Jailbreak Bypass (Advanced)

Before trying technical workarounds, always attempt the official recovery routes. These are the only permanent and "clean" ways to remove the lock.

The DNS Bypass is not a full "unlock," but rather a way to use the device's hardware to browse the web, watch YouTube, and use basic apps without entering the Apple ID.

Because iOS 9.3.6 runs on older 32-bit A5 or A6 chips, it is vulnerable to certain hardware-level exploits that cannot be patched by software. This typically involves using a "Ramdisk" or "Setup.app" removal technique.

Never pay for a "remote unlock" service that claims to unlock your device via IMEI alone; these are almost always scams. Authentic bypasses require the device to be physically connected to a computer. Summary of Device Compatibility Final Version Hardware Exploit Available? iPhone 4s Yes (Arduino required) iPad 2 Yes (Arduino required) iPad mini 1 Yes (Arduino/Sliver) iPad 3 Yes (Sliver/Ramdisk) Conclusion

You generally need a Mac or a Linux machine and tools like Sliver or Arduino with a USB Host Shield (specifically for the iPad 2/iPhone 4s).
