Auto-connect VPN for iOS — connect when your network changes
FollowNet Auto-connect starts VPN automatically on Wi‑Fi, mobile data, or any network — so you do not need to tap Connect every time you join a hotspot or switch from Wi‑Fi to LTE.

- Works with WireGuard, IKEv2, and Smart Connect
- Available on Free and Premium
- Set up in Settings → Auto-connect
Why auto-connect on iPhone?
Public Wi‑Fi and travel networks are when people need VPN most — and when they forget to turn it on. Auto-connect watches your network and launches FollowNet when your chosen rule matches.
Auto-connect modes in FollowNet
Pick Disabled, Wi‑Fi Only, LTE Only, or Always in Settings → Auto-connect. Pair with Smart Connect so the best protocol and server are selected after VPN starts.
