Then reboot your iPhone and make sure that it's in DFU mode. If not, then you have to enter DFU mode of your iPhone.

First go to about section of your iPhone and open 'General Information'. Locate 'Reset' button and then press it to reset the iPhone. When resetting is done, go to Settings app and make sure that it is in DFU mode. If not, then go to the iPhone's firmware in DFU mode.

Now locate 'Reset Network Settings' option and press it. After reset is done, you need to connect your iPhone to your computer and copy the iPhone's firmware into a folder of your choice. The firmware will have to be in FAT32 format.

After copying the firmware, disconnect your iPhone from your computer. Connect your iPhone again to the same computer and open iTunes. Now press the button 'Restore'. Select the phone from which the firmware was restored, from 'Restore Backup' option and select 'Restore from backup' option. In the next window, click on 'Choose' button. The last step is to allow iTunes to install your iPhone's firmware again, so select the phone on the left-hand side of the window, which allows you to do that. Then click on 'Install' button.

This concludes the entire procedure of disabling iPhone's VPN server. Please remember that this disabling is only temporary, since the iPhone VPN server is not working on Windows Vista. To re-enable the iPhone VPN server, you have to follow the steps described in the tutorial - Restore iPhone 4's built in VPN server using Terminal. Once again, if you don't own the iPhone and you can't change its firmware, you need to get permission to take control of your friend's iPhone. Otherwise this procedure won't work.

Why have I got VPN on my iPhone?

I have heard of VPNs (virtual private networks), and I know that they are often used for privacy, but I don't understand why. I only connect it to my wifi once or twice a day, it never connects to any site. Does someone want to enlighten me? Or can anyone please explain to me what the purpose is? I read some reviews of VPNs on various websites and found an option to connect to an 'open' VPN server and the other to a 'private' one. What does that mean? Do I need to pay for a subscription on some websites, just to connect? And why would I need such a thing if all I do is browse the net?

I can't see it being for the privacy benefit. Maybe someone could tell me where you hear of VPNs. Re: Have I got VPN on my iPhone? Why do you need a VPN? If you plan to download music, video, games, etc., most of which you won't be able to access without a VPN, then you will need one. If you are going to go into foreign countries such as China and Iran you may need one also. If you are going to a public WiFi network you will need one as well. If you are traveling out of the country, you will need a VPN to gain access to whatever internet is available while overseas. Using a VPN when downloading and/or streaming content is much safer than no VPN.

In addition to what others have said, there's the extra security measures that can be taken using VPN. If someone logs onto your VPN account, they still can't steal all your data because they only get the bits stored on your own machine and not in a central database.

Most public wifi networks use certificates for authentication. This means if you do not log on using the right certificate (eg, your email password) you will not be given access to the wifi network. If your device does not have the right certificate then the wifi login page cannot be displayed and you cannot access the internet connection. To be able to access a public wifi network you need to log on using the right certificate. This is why you need a VPN when using a public wifi network.

Should I turn off VPN on my iPhone?

I'm looking to buy a new phone. My old iPhone 4S is very prone to crashes, it tends to freeze up for no reason, and I'd like to try something newer. I've been a fan of iPhone ever since the first time I got one, but I'm ready to take the plunge into Android territory. If I buy an iPhone 6, will I still be able to use VPNs? I don't really want to give up the security and privacy VPNs give me.

If you use a VPN, that's generally considered an indication that you're doing something suspicious. There are things that happen behind the scenes when you VPN that the network can't know about, but others can. Your traffic goes through the VPN tunnel, so that can be monitored and then decrypted. If that happens, you're caught doing something naughty, like accessing an illegal site or communicating with a suspected spammer.

If you don't use a VPN, you don't expose anything that a network could learn about. If you don't do anything to make that information exposed, it's just as safe as if you didn't use a VPN at all.
