How to turn off a VPN on iPhone

[Ebony Sailo]

To turn off a VPN on an iPhone, you have multiple options. Firstly, find the VPN app that's active and tap the disconnect button, usually labeled as "Disconnect" or displaying a green power icon. Wait for the VPN to confirm it has disconnected and check that the "VPN" rectangle from your screen is gone.

Alternatively, go to Settings and select the VPN app you want to turn off. Tap "VPN & Device Management," then tap the name of the active VPN profile, tap the "i" next to its name, and tap "Delete VPN." This will delete both the app and any associated configuration.

If the VPN turns itself back on despite following these steps, check for any auto-connect settings or settings that allow automatic reconnections. You can also try disconnecting and reconnecting in a different location to switch servers.

It's essential to turn off your iPhone VPN in certain situations, such as when browsing speed is sluggish, the VPN is causing unintended errors, your internet connection is unstable, you're on a site that blocks all VPNs, or your battery is low.

I just wish Apple would make it easier to manage our online security . It's not rocket science, but apparently, we need step-by-step instructions on how to turn off our VPNs. I mean, come on! Can't they just put a simple toggle switch or something? It's frustrating when you're trying to get some work done and your VPN is hogging all the bandwidth... or worse, causing errors . Anyway, at least we have options to manually delete the app and settings if we need to turn it off completely . Still, I think Apple should consider adding a more intuitive way for us to manage our online security preferences

I'm so sick of people saying we need to keep our iPhones connected 24/7 with a VPN . Like, can't we just leave it off for one hour without anything catastrophic happening? I mean, the internet's not going to end because we turned off our VPN for a hot sec. And what's wrong with a little unstable internet connection anyway? It's like our devices are becoming too reliant on these virtual shields. We should be using them sparingly, just to stay safe online. Turning it off can actually make us more aware of our surroundings and the world around us... maybe even encourage us to do something more productive instead of mindlessly scrolling

I'm totally sure turning off a VPN on an iPhone should be super easy... like literally just one click . But at the same time, I've heard of people having to go through all these steps because their phone gets smart and tries to reconnect automatically . Like, how can you expect me to remember all those settings? And what's with deleting the app and everything... that just sounds like a hassle . But maybe if I'm being honest, it is kinda necessary in certain situations... like when I'm low on battery and my phone keeps crashing .

Ugh, can't even use a VPN without having to read a whole article on how to turn it off . I mean, come on, who doesn't know the disconnect button is just one tap away? Anyway, I guess it's good to know about those alternative methods too... but honestly, who needs that many options to disable something so simple as a VPN? And btw, auto-reconnecting is super annoying, right?

Turning off a VPN on an iPhone - it's like shedding our online skin, isn't it? We put it on for protection, but sometimes we need to take it off to breathe fresh air . I wonder if we do this enough, though. Do we ever really disconnect from the virtual world?

I mean, think about it - we're already glued to our screens, constantly connected to our devices. So when we turn off the VPN, are we just turning off a part of ourselves or something else entirely? It's like we're putting on a different persona, one that's less encumbered by the virtual world.

And what does it mean to have our internet connection unstable, anyway? Is it just a technical glitch or is it a reflection of our own emotional state? Do we seek stability in our online lives because we're seeking stability in our offline lives?

I'm so confused about these steps . I just want to turn off my VPN and get some decent speed for once, but it feels like I have to be a tech genius . Can't we just have one option to toggle on/off? It's like trying to solve a puzzle blindfolded . And what's up with the different disconnect methods? Tap the button, wait for it to confirm... does anyone actually do that in real life? I'm just gonna try reconnecting at a different location and hope for the best .

I mean, have you ever thought about how weird it is that we need instructions on how to turn off our VPN on our iPhones? I know, I know, technology can be overwhelming sometimes . But seriously, it's just another example of how dependent we are on these apps and devices for even the most basic things.

And what's with all the different ways to turn it off? Can't we just have one way to do it? It's like they're trying to make it as complicated as possible. I'm not saying I'd want to use a VPN 24/7, but if you're using one, shouldn't it be easier to just turn it on and off when you need to?

And what about the auto-connect settings? Are we really that reliant on our devices to keep connecting us to certain servers or websites without even realizing it? It's like they have a mind of their own! Anyway, I guess turning off your iPhone VPN is just something we need to be aware of, especially if you're using it for work or browsing the internet a lot.

I know how easy it is to just tap that disconnect button and forget about our virtual security . But think about it, when we turn off our VPNs, are we also turning off our own protection? We need to be mindful of those pesky sites that block all VPNs, just like how our iPhone needs to know when to turn its VPN on/off. It's a reminder that sometimes, we have to take control and make conscious choices about our online security .
