VPN causing iPad Pro 2018 Wi-Fi connection issues.

Wi-Fi icon disappeared from my iPad Pro, VPN icon in settings is flickering on and off and potentially causing difficulty with connecting to Wi-Fi. How do you remove the VPN from the device? Icon is on the settings screen but not in my App Library and never been enabled?

iPad, iPadOS 17

The "VPN" bar does not turn off after disabling VPN on iPhone XR iOS 18.0.1 Hello. Device: iPhone Xr MRY52RM/A (iOS 18.0.1 (22A3370)) After turning off VPN on the device, the "VPN" bar at the top does not disappear. Only rebooting helps once, then repeating and endless display of the bar at the top. It happens both when Wi-Fi network is connected and from Mobile Data. The pictures are attached. Photo 1. Settings. VPN is turned off in the settings. Photo 2. VPN is turned off, but the icon is displayed at the top. I would appreciate help and advice on what to do in this case.

iPad Wi-Fi connection issue with MalwareBytes VPN UPDATE TO A CLOSED QUESTION ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM: The solution in my case was different from any answers that I found so I'm sharing it here: The Settings in my iPad said I was connected, but none of my apps could connect. I tried every suggestion provided in the answers I found online, including here, but none of them worked. I finally noticed that MalwareBytes was continuously connecting and disconnecting, so on a hunch I turned off my Malwaebytes VPN. Voila! Everything works again, and I can go back to reading my newspapers on my iPad and stop using up my iPhone's battery by reading them on that much smaller screen. [Re-Titled by Moderator]
