Your VPN may be turning back on because you have a VPN app still open.

Depending on your VPN, the risks I see are the following:

  • Your activity might be monitored
  • You might pay for using your VPN (but most of them are subscription-based)
  • Your connection should be slowed down


To disconnect from your VPN, I suggest you try to close all of your apps by clicking twice on the Home button twice and swipe your VPN app up. If it still doesn't work, try restarting your iPhone.
