Quick answer: An iPhone VPN uses a system-managed network tunnel to route supported device traffic through a VPN service or private network.
How it works
After installing a reputable provider’s app or a configuration supplied by an organization, confirm the connection state in iOS settings. Some services offer an automatic connection feature.
Practical advice
A VPN icon indicates a configured tunnel is active, not that every app or website is trustworthy.
Frequently asked question
Does iCloud Private Relay replace a VPN?
No. Private Relay is designed for particular Safari and related traffic under supported conditions; it is not a general-purpose VPN for every app.
