Pop up VPN message

I was streaming a movie on my pro12 ipad, and a message popped up asking me to install VPN from the apple store and the option to download from the message. Is this a legitimate message from apple? Do I need to have VPN?

No, it is not a message from Apple. You do not need a VPN. That notification probably came from the website that you are on and using it to stream a movie. The website and the notifications are attempting to mislead you into buying something that you do not need.
