Q1. "After the reset, if the OP knows all the credentials and authentication methods for the VPN, it should be easy to punch in all the information into the setting.

A1. See if you can recover the credentials in Keychain. Go Here: Set up iCloud Keychain - Apple Support


Q2. "VPN clients are probably a different story. I only have used IPhone's built-in VPN to connect to my own VPN server."

A2. Talk to your network administrator to fix this.

Unless the VPN is provided by your workplace to access a specific secure server, it's not really doing you any good. Your personal information is being routed through some third party's servers and many of them have very dubious privacy policies and records.
