I’d agree: Notion is great for individuals, a household, maybe even a small business? But it’d be a tough ask to scale to 100 people in an engineering org. But who knows, maybe it will find a niche like Basecamp did? It is a wonderful repla

Not quite. There’s no VPN tunnel - no IPSec tunnel is being set up, even on loopback. The reason the “VPN” icon appears is because VPN profiles are how you override iOS network settings on unmanaged devices: which can include just DNS. An

What drives that suggestion? I prefer DNS over HTTPS as some networks intercept DNS traffic, fail to parse the TLS-wrapped DNS payloads, and fail. DoH exists because DoTLS is prone to more interference.

VPN profiles in iOS can be used for network-level configuration: despite the label, that doesn’t have to mean just a VPN tunnel. In this case, the profile is ONLY configuring DNS: there is no VPN tunnel being created. The “VPN icon” in the
