By default, you’ll remain connected to the VPN server until you switch it off. You can then turn on a VPN connection from iOS settings or the WireGuard app. After installing the app, you can scan your server’s QR code to add a VPN configuration to the main settings app. The WireGuard team says that the iOS app is still in beta, but it’s stable enough to be on the App Store. Other protocols let you set up “On Demand” connections with VPN servers, but it usually takes a few seconds to re-activate the VPN connection every time your network status changes. This feature alone is a great improvement. If you have established a connection with your WireGuard server, your phone will remain connected to your VPN server when you exit the hotel and switch to cellular network, and when you arrive at the conference center and connect to the Wi-Fi network. Let’s say you’re in a hotel and you’re heading to a busy conference center. And you can now connect to a WireGuard server on iOS thanks to the official open-source app.Ĭompared to other VPN protocols, such as OpenVPN and IPsec, it can maintain a VPN connection even if you change from one network to another. WireGuard is a new VPN protocol that promises to be faster and more secure at the same time.
