Unable to turn on VPN after accidentally turning it off on iPad?

On my iPad, it is under settings. It is not something I have downloaded. It picks up the internet from my iPhone. Without it I can’t get online on my iPad.

If your iPad is obtaining its internet connection via your iPhone, you will be using your iPhone's hotspot connection:

Share your internet connection from your iPhone - Apple Support

How to set up a Personal Hotspot on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

Join a Personal Hotspot

If an iPhone or iPad with cellular service is sharing a Personal Hotspot, you can use its cellular connection.

1. Go to Settings  > Wi-Fi, then choose the name of the device sharing the Personal Hotspot.
2. If asked, enter the password. (On the device sharing the Personal Hotspot, the password is shown in Settings > Cellular > Personal Hotspot.)

Why are you using a VPN? Unless you need it to connect to a secure server for your work or school, it's likely that you don't need it at all.

Same here, I don’t understand why people use VPN. It usually cuts your internet speed in half. And really doesn’t add any benefit to an iPad.

I certainly understand that there are parts of the world where, for safety reasons or to circumvent the restrictions of an oppressive regime, people need to use them. However, I suspect that most people have simply fallen prey to the marketing that it will "make them safer."
