@Frida I depend on my iOS devices for most tasks and activities. I always use a VPN to ensure security, and this is completely unexpected. Has Apple addressed this issue?

[Eugene Participant 20 September 2022 Eugene Participant]

Yes @Deborah, but the response from Apple is not entirely satisfactory for everyone. They said that iOS traffic was being exempted from VPN protection “as expected”. They suggested and provided a solution tailored only to focus on enterprise-enrolled users of MDM solutions.

@eugene, does that mean an MDM solution’s VPN connection can resolve the data leak issue on corporate iOS devices? How does that work?

@Frida, you can customize your VPN connection for iOS devices, using the “Always On VPN” feature. This feature allows you more control over your network connections. You can direct specific traffic to pass through a VPN tunnel. You can set it up under Policies > iOS > VPN > Connection Type > Always-on. But it only works on supervised iOS devices.
