IPhone VPN : what is it?
The VPN stands for Virtual Private Network, or a private telecommunication network that is established between multiple subjects.
How does the VPN decline on the iPhone ?
Why use it?
Whether it’s a corporate use for remote connections or that is used to download large amounts of data, VPN connections for iPhone are useful for many reasons.
Here’s all there is to know.
What is the VPN?
As anticipated, the iPhone VPN is one of the safest connection protocol for data protection.
It is no coincidence that it is often used as a corporate network for secure connection during business trips, perhaps precisely for those who connect to public Wi-Fi that are always subject to the risks of lurking hackers.
If public hotspots are convenient for working outside the home , however, you must know that these can conceal the bad intentions of those who, taking advantage of the navigator’s inexperience, can enter the device and steal any type of information.
With the VPN this cannot happen because it guarantees the anonymity of the internet connection and, therefore, the uniqueness of the access.

The iPhone VPN is especially useful for corporate use in complete safety. The connection, in fact, takes place through an armored virtual tunner that simulates the connection from other places.
In fact, the VPN creates a connection from your device to another network in complete safety.
There are companies that have internal internet networks which can only be accessed if you are physically present on the spot but who, with the VPN, can offer an equally secure connection while being in another place.
If you have no business connection needs, the VPN is also useful for accessing public Wi-Fi in peace: in fact, the iPhone will be redirected to an end-point and will be protected.
So much so that the iPhone can also be made to appear from a different position from the real one, and it is a function that serves to avoid connection blocks for content not available for your country .
In any case, the VPN ensures security and privacy for every use of the internet connection: VoIP calls, browsing, messages, downloads .
IPhone VPN configuration
To use the iPhone VNP you must first subscribe to the services available for free for iOS by downloading the app on your device.
There are several that you can use and, among these, the most famous are TunnelBear, ExpressVPN, Ipvanish, NordVPN etc …
The apps can be downloaded for free from the app store but the cost of the service depends on the package you choose.
Be wary of free VPN proposals because they almost always conceal a trap .
The VPN can be configured manually but to do this you need to have some important information at hand, including remote ID, server name , login username and password .
Without this information you will not be able to proceed because they are fundamental for the configuration.
The fastest way to configure iPhone VPN , therefore, is to proceed through the paid services mentioned above.
Once the app has been downloaded and the IOS package purchased, it will ask for permission to configure the VPN on the iPhone and, by clicking on Allow, you will only have to enter the system password and wait for the configuration to be completed automatically .
Now every time you want to connect, just keep the VPN activated by the General Settings and you will always be protected while browsing .
The path to follow is Settings, General, VPN, select the VPN Client that you have activated, turn on the switch and you’re done.
If you don’t need to proceed with the same path to turn it off.
If you want to proceed with a manual configuration, go to Settings, General and then to VPN.
Then tap on Add VPN Configuration and now you will have to have at hand the information we were talking about above.
In fact, you will have to select the Type of VPN among IKEv2, IPSec or L2TP and then enter Server, Remote ID, User Name and Password.
Confirming the insertion, the device will connect via VPN and you will still have to do the same path for switching off when you do not want to use it.
