VPN split tunneling

iOS 11.2.1 - VPN Split Tunneling

I have an iPhone and a home VPN. When I connect to my VPN, I have no problems but have noticed that the OS is doing split tunneling. It uses both the cellular network and the VPN tunnel. I can not find a setting to force all the traffic through the tunnel.

Please advise

iPhone 7, iOS 11.2.1

I’m not sure what you are asking.

The phone has to use the cellular network or WiFi to connect to, send out data from the device.

IP tunneling is just wrapping your data in encryption and sending out over whatever network connection you have.

Using a VPN does not replace your ISP.
