- scarface74 8y agoThere are so many bad actors when it comes to VPN software ad blockers it wasn’t worth the risk. VPNs are allowed and are natively supported, but I wouldn’t trust a random third party VPN. If it were that important to me on iOS, I would host my own VPN server and just use the native support. https://www.imore.com/how-configure-vpn-access-your-iphone-or-ipad https://www.imore.com/how-configure-vpn-access-your-iphone-o... But honestly, I hate ad supported software. Either give me away to remove ads via an in app purchase or I’ll just delete the app. I bought an iOS device partially because I prefer the simple transaction model of giving Apple money and they give me stuff without subsidizing the purchase price with ads and invasive tracking.
- scarface74 8y agoI forgot to mention. Many “VPN apps” for iOS don’t do anything special except for automatically configuring VPN settings. As the article above stated, you can do the same thing manually by going to settings. The VPN providers can sell services off the App Store and document the manual setup process.
