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
