Using a VPN on iPhone is an effective way to increase security on public networks. However, many users do not want the VPN to be active all the time, only when they are outside their secure home network. This is where Apple’s Shortcuts app comes into play, enabling clever automation.
The process begins with creating a shortcut that can be called, for example, ‘VPN WiFi’. This shortcut checks the name of the current WLAN. If the iPhone detects that it is not on the home network, it will automatically establish a VPN connection using an appropriate app such as Proton VPN. If the device is in the home network, the connection is not established or is disconnected.
The next step is to set up personal automation. This automation is triggered when the iPhone leaves the home WiFi. Here, it is important to enable the ‘Run Immediately’ option to prevent the iPhone from asking for confirmation every time. A second automation can be set up to deactivate the VPN as soon as the home WiFi is re-entered.
This automation offers smart protection on the go. As soon as the connection to the home router is lost, the iPhone activates the VPN in the background. When you return to the home network, the VPN connection is disconnected again in order to use the full local bandwidth. This method is flexible and can be adapted to individual needs, for example by using your own VPN server at home.
However, it is important to note that some VPN apps do not allow to open in the background when the iPhone is locked. Users should therefore test whether their preferred VPN app supports this function. Alternatively, the VPN can also be activated based on location. These automation options offer a simple and effective way to increase security on the iPhone without sacrificing convenience.
