Configuration profiles, not provisioning profiles. That just means you install them before locking it down.

Also, the supervision requirement for always on VPN is a stronger limitation than lockdown mode; you have to erase the phone to supervise it.

Ahh thanks for the clarification, I didn't know there was a difference.

Configuration profiles are however how you force DoH or disable certain privacy leaks from phoning home to Apple. There are no UI settings for some of the important ones.
