Native iOS VPN Manager

You can alternatively use iPhone's built-in VPN settings to set up a VPN connection to your proxy.

1. From your iPhone's web browser, navigate to your proxy license page and tap the green iOS Profile button to download the iOS VPN profile.

  • Alternatively, if you do not want the VPN to connect persistently, select the blue iOS/macOS Profile button instead.

2. Tap Allow when the browser asks to download a configuration profile.

3. Open your iPhone Settings and tap on Profile Downloaded.

4. Tap Install at the top right to install the VPN profile. Enter your iPhone password if prompted.

5. In the Warning tab, again tap Install. Then tap Install once more when prompted, and finally tap Done. The profile is now on your phone and will automatically connect. By default, the VPN will be persistent.

6. If you want to view the VPN profile or disable persistent activation, go to iPhone Settings, tap General, then VPN & Device Management, then VPN.

7. You will see the downloaded profile, which should have a checkmark next to it. The Status should show an activated toggle switch labeled Connected.

8. To disable persistent activation, select the Information icon ⓘ to view the connection details. Then toggle off the switch for Connect On Demand. The VPN connection will no longer be persistent and you can activate/deactivate manually.
