Why use a VPN on iPhone and iPad?
iOS devices connect across many networks: home, office, airports, hotels, and cafés. Each network is a different trust environment.
A VPN encrypts your traffic and helps keep your IP address private on untrusted networks, adding a layer of protection wherever you connect.
Protocol choice matters on mobile: WireGuard can be efficient on battery, OpenVPN offers broad compatibility, and IKEv2 can be reliable for roaming between Wi-Fi and cellular.
A VPN helps on iOS when you:
- Use public Wi-Fi at airports, hotels, or cafés
- Want more private mobile browsing
- Travel and need better control over your connection (availability varies)
- Switch frequently between Wi-Fi and cellular networks
