Why use a VPN on iPhone
Works with any browser
Secure system-wide VPN protection on iOS. VeePN encrypts traffic on your iPhone or iPad, not just in Safari or Chrome, but across apps and browsers using a device-level VPN tunnel.
Top-level security
Your iOS traffic is protected with AES-256 encryption and modern VPN protocols (WireGuard®, OpenVPN, IKEv2). VeePN creates a secure system-level tunnel to help keep your data private on any network.
Safety on public Wi-Fi
Stay protected on public and unsecured Wi-Fi networks. VeePN automatically secures your connection on hotspots in cafes, airports, and hotels to help prevent data interception.
VPN Kill Switch
When enabled, Kill Switch routes network traffic through the VPN tunnel while the connection is active, reducing the risk of accidental data exposure during network changes.

How VeePN Works on iOS
VeePN uses Apple’s Network Extension framework to create a secure, system-level VPN tunnel on iPhone and iPad. The app relies on NEVPNManager for IKEv2 connections and NEPacketTunnelProvider for WireGuard and OpenVPN, ensuring full-device protection rather than browser-only encryption.
Once connected, all network traffic is routed through an encrypted VPN tunnel managed by iOS. Sensitive connection data is stored in the iOS Keychain, helping protect user sessions from unauthorized access.
VeePN works seamlessly in the background and protects your device across apps, browsers, and system services.
iOS Auto-Protect & On-Demand VPN
VeePN features Auto-Protect, an iOS-native on-demand VPN mechanism that automatically enables the VPN when your iPhone or iPad connects to Wi-Fi.
Auto-connects on public or unsecured Wi-Fi
Supports seamless switching between Wi-Fi and cellular data (LTE/5G)
Allows you to exclude trusted networks
Works silently in the background
This helps keep your connection protected without manual actions, even when switching networks.
iOS Kill Switch Protection
VeePN implements a system-level Kill Switch on iOS that routes external network traffic through the VPN tunnel while it is active.
Protects traffic even when the app is minimized
Works the same way on iPhone and iPad
Can be enabled or disabled in the app settings
Local network traffic remains accessible, while external connections are tunneled through the VPN.

- Protocol Description
