Why can't I turn off the VPN on my iPhone?

On my iPhone, I connect to the VPN and the traffic appears to be flowing as normal.

Is there a way to tell the iPhone to turn off the VPN? I'm aware that it's possible to turn off the proxy settings in the system preferences so the network traffic will "leak" through a non-VPN tunnel. This seems a little too much of a workaround just for turning off the VPN. Any suggestions? Is there a way to know how many VPN tunnels I have active at any time on my iPhone? I don't understand why my Macbook only detects 1 VPN connection even though my iPhone can connect to more than one. The solution to my problem was simple. In Network Preferences on my Macbook I removed the VPN completely. No problem. My iPhone is now working fine without the VPN. So, why did the Macbook only see one VPN connection?

On your Mac, in the System Preferences, open the Network preference pane, select 'AirPort' in the list at the top, and scroll down to 'VPN' and open the drop-down menu. Select 'Manual' and set the 'Manual IP address' to your correct IP address.

That should solve your issue, and keep you from having to figure out your IP address. Good luck.
