VPN for public Wi‑Fi on iPhone — stay encrypted
Coffee shops, airports, hotels, and guest networks are convenient but risky. FollowNet encrypts your iPhone and iPad traffic on any Wi‑Fi network with one tap.
- Encrypt traffic on any Wi‑Fi SSID
- Auto-connect when you join Wi‑Fi or switch networks
- Smart Connect for captive portals and restricted hotspots
- Speed Test to pick the fastest server
Risks on open Wi‑Fi
Shared hotspots can expose unencrypted traffic to others on the same network. Even password-protected guest Wi‑Fi may be operated by untrusted parties. VPN adds a layer of encryption between your device and the internet.
Auto-connect on Wi‑Fi
FollowNet supports automation profiles and Auto-connect settings so VPN can connect when you join Wi‑Fi or always stay on. Combine with Smart Connect when traveling abroad.

Some overhead is normal. Use Speed Test and try a closer server for best results.
Does FollowNet work on captive portal login pages?
Connect VPN after you complete the portal login, or use Smart Connect which adapts to network conditions.
