What is the VPN on the iPhone?

A VPN is a Virtual Private Network. They're typically used to allow people to connect to Corporate Networks over the internet so that they can access services that are usually only available on computers in their office. You're probably to going to need it so just leave it.

It's a Virtual Private Network, can be used to hide your browsing or to access sites that are blocked on your ip address, ie if you have a UK VPN then you can watch iPlayer etc while out of the UK, there are some free ones but they are rubbish, expect to pay around £6 a month for a good one.

  • Will a VPN on a Iphone allow you to go on facebook on China? The VPN i use is this www.freecanadavpn.com. It sets up and works and has the VPN sign on the top. But if i travelled to china would it allow me to go on Facebook, youtube… On the iphone connecting to a local Wi-Fi network? When i connect it doesn't tell me to like select a different location or IP address. So i'm not sure if this just works as a hotspot shield or if it actually allows you to go on facebook in china.
