How can I disable private Wi-Fi address and limit IP address tracking for VPN app via shortcut on iOS 18.5?

I am using VPN for personal use.

If default WiFi settings is for no VPN connection, isn’t it too much to require user to be aware when VPN is applicable and then hand change WiFi settings?

Example how often someone not switch back annd forth between app and web?

I prefer some smart from iOS or app but finding both doesn’t meet my expectations.

Sorry, but this post makes very little sense.

Are you using the VPN to connect to your employer or school, or just for Internet access?

Smart thing is never install VPN on an iPhone unless it is for criminal activity on your part. Apart from causing these problems, you have no idea where the app is sending your web data traffic.

Dump the VPN. It is doing absolutely nothing to protect your privacy or secure your data. Actually, it's doping exactly the opposite.

I was using my vpn for school and some other stuff popped up and my school gave me iss for week

If that means youre using a free VPN then the risks are probably greater than using public wifi.

please post your own thread if you have a question instead of trying to hijack someone else's.
