Guide
VPN for travel on iPhone — roaming, hotels, and airports
Travel means unfamiliar Wi‑Fi, foreign SIMs, and sometimes filtered networks. FollowNet keeps the same iOS workflow while Smart Connect helps choose a protocol for the current network.
Travel scenarios
Airport lounge Wi‑Fi, hotel captive portals, and local prepaid SIMs can all behave differently. VPN helps privacy; Smart Connect helps connectivity when protocols are restricted abroad.
Tips for travelers
Download FollowNet before you leave, sign in with email, run Speed Test on Wi‑Fi and cellular, and enable Auto-connect on untrusted networks. Check the app for the locations included in your plan.
Key points
- Multiple server locations listed in the app
- Smart Connect for unfamiliar networks
- Auto-connect on hotel and airport Wi‑Fi
- Install and test before your trip
FAQ
Will VPN work in every country?
Availability depends on local laws and network policies. Users are responsible for complying with local regulations.
Should I connect before or after hotel Wi‑Fi login?
Usually after the captive portal; then enable VPN for the rest of the session.
Does travel roaming cost extra with VPN?
VPN adds data overhead; roaming charges depend on your carrier plan, not FollowNet.
