Can’t delete VPN added by Palo Alto Network’s GlobalProtect app Has anyone ever experienced this? I installed Palo Alto Network’s GlobalProtect app from the app store. Later I deleted the app, however the VPN still shows up under Settings > VPN > DEVICE VPN. Also, when I click on the VPN there is no “Delete VPN” option. As it stands now I can not get this VPN off my device. This is happening on my iPad and iPhone. Besides wiping my device and starting over, can anyone thing of a fix for this?

What is a VPN configuration profile ? Hi, I have failed to get a useful answer from Bitdefender so I want to tackle this question from the iPhone side. Bitdefender Mobile Security app for iPhone and iPad is NOT a VPN as the company will explain. If Bitdefender VPN happens to be active and Mobile Security Web Protection is then enabled, the Bitdefender VPN will be shut down instantly. Can anyone tell me then why with Web Protection active, when I go into iPhone - Settings - the first screen shows VPN Connected. Bitdefender's explanation is that Web protection uses "a VPN configuration profile to be active". Much time running advanced google searches has not thrown up any description of VPN configuration profile that is remotely intelligible by a humble non-geek. Can anyone put me out of my misery in plain English ?
