VPN on cellular LTE — Auto-connect modes in FollowNet
FollowNet can stay on for LTE Only, Wi‑Fi Only, Always, or Off. Cellular drains battery more with Always-on tunnels — pick the mode that matches your risk.
What to know
Travel / Restricted use Always. Public Wi‑Fi uses Wi‑Fi Only so home cellular can stay quiet. Smart Connect still picks protocols when the tunnel starts.
How to use it
Settings → Auto-connect (or apply a Network Profile). Test a commute with IKEv2/Travel if handoffs flap.
Limits and honest expectations
Weak LTE plus VPN feels slower — measure with Speed Test. Free meter still counts cellular bytes.
