How do we turn off VPN on iphone5. When we followed instructions from Apple support, it just keeps turning itself right back on. It appears to be using alot of battery too. Having to recharge phone often.
thanks

However old the question was it was exactly my problem today, so please don't knock it.
A search I made brought me to the question.
I have installed Tunnelbear on my IPAD to use abroad. It works well but I don't want it on all the time as the free version is very limited (500mb).
Simply turning it off in settings didn't work as it kept restarting.
the fix on IPAD that worked for me was
Settings
General
VPN (this is almost at the bottom)
Slide to "not connected"
This stops it from switching back on without uninstalling it.
I was not being rude, just pointing out the importance of reading the posts you are responding to. Make sure that the information you are providing is relevant to the original post, or indicate that it is an update as things have changed since the original post.
Read the entire thread to make sure that you are not simply repeating an answer that was already provided.
Carefully read the OPs post, and do not post a solution which doesn't take what the OP has clearly stated into consideration. Also, remember that answers that were provided on a post that was made 3 years ago, are for the device and software that was being used 3 years ago. Things change radically over a 3 year period, so again, if you want to post an update for the issue as stated, then do so but don't forget to provide the caveat that this is updated information that was not relevant at the time the original post was made.
These are just pointers to make your experience and the posters' experience a more productive one overall. Just trying to help you to have a better experience overall on this forum.
