VPN for banking apps on iPhone — encryption help, not bank security

A VPN can protect the path on public Wi‑Fi while you open a bank app. It does not replace the bank’s own fraud systems or Face ID.

What to know

Some banks dislike unfamiliar VPN exits and may challenge login. If that happens, disconnect VPN on trusted networks or try a nearby server — never share one-time codes.

How to use it

Use FollowNet on café Wi‑Fi for the tunnel; unlock with Face ID; if the bank blocks the exit, disconnect and retry on trusted LTE.

Limits and honest expectations

We do not help bypass bank security. If a bank forbids VPN, follow their policy.
