That sounds... awful, the name "VPN" doesn't really apply.

- Terretta 9y agoWhich is why that’s not the case. iOS supports real VPN: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201533 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201533 The legit apps are mostly VPN policy/configuration managers. You give them permission to hook into the built in consumer and business level VPN capabilities built into iOS without giving them ability to MITM all the traffic on the device. Mostly the apps give you tools to select the edge / country you want to connect to, whether you want DNS ad blocking, and a way to use App Store subscriptions to pay for VPN. They can also give you easy on/off 3D Touch or widgets, or show you dashboards of usage. You can use an app to create a VPN profile then remove the app, it’s not needed. You can also load VPN profiles other ways, without an app.
