How to know via shortcut VPN details? Say which VPN, On or Off? iOS 18.4.1

Nobody here is likely to answer about VPNs as most of us would say they cause more harm than good. Heaven knows what multiple VPNs would do.

Ditto security apps. iOS does not need them, waste of money,

Is it possible to get VPN status via shortcut? Both Action and Toolbox Pro do not output results from VPN App. Their actions just open VPN App (I am not allowed to post name of App here) but unfortunately it just show looping screen.

Why aren't you allowed to post the name of the app?

Why do you think you need to be using an VPN? As LD150 noted, they are almost never needed. Unless you are logging into a secure server or are avoiding the restrictions of an oppressive regime, you probably don't need one. They don't provide the security the ads (I mean you Norton!) would have you believe.

Don't use VPN services.

What “security apps” require VPN? FIRST: You should not have any “security apps” on your iPhone. They offer ZERO benefit. They have two purposes: to slow down your iPhone and to enrich the business that sells it. That’s it. There is no benefit to you.
