The easiest way to use a VPN on an iPhone is to install a VPN app from the App Store. After signing in, the app can create the VPN connection for you, so there is usually no need to enter server addresses or other technical settings manually.
Setting up a VPN is usually much easier than it sounds. Whether you want to protect your phone on public Wi-Fi, secure a Windows laptop, change your virtual location, or use a VPN on a Smart TV, most devices can be connected in just a few steps.
