If you’re looking to surf the web safely on an iPhone, a VPN – or virtual private network – could be what you’re missing to add that extra layer of protection to your browsing and prevent others from snooping on your traffic.
VPNs are an excellent tool for any internet user to have, but how do you set one up on your Apple phone? We’ve put together this guide to teach you how to install a VPN in iOS.
This guide follows the steps needed to install and connect to a server with NordVPN, but other VPNs should follow a very similar process.
