I have an Iphone 4. What is VPN and should I turn it on?
And if I turn it on which should I choose? L2TP PPTP IPSec
I don't think you'll actually need VPN ever. VPN stands for virtual private network and that just means your phone will be on a network that no one can trace (connecting to school Wi-Fi and you can access sites your school has blocked, but they caught that now). You really don't need vpn.
Unless you have a specific reason to use VPN, don't bother with it. VPN is a networking protocol designed to create private connections to s specific site or server. You have to have it working on both ends, so unless you have such a connection, you have no use for it.
