How to Setup and Configure a VPN on Your iPhone

The easiest way to set up a VPN client on your iPhone or iPad is through an AppStore app search like "VPN free", "VPN for iPhone". Download one of those great apps, install it on your iOS device, and open it.

After signing up or signing into your account, you'll be prompted to give permission to add a VPN configuration to your iPhone. Tap Allow to have the VPN configured on your iPhone automatically.

You'll then be prompted to enter your passcode or Touch ID to give permission to change your VPN settings. Enter your passcode, or activate Touch ID.

Once the VPN is enabled, you can select and connect it at any time without having to open the app again (use the app to change location and adjust other settings).
Launch Settings from your Home screen.
Tap General.


Tap VPN.
