Turning on a VPN is always a painful experience on an iOS device due to the deep nested menus. This App installs a Today Widget into Notification Center which make it possible to turn on a VPN in about 3 seconds(depends on the connection speed). Furthermore, by turning on On Demand feature, the VPN could be automatically connected when you visit any domain specified in this App.
- An iPhone/iPad running iOS 8.0+
- An IPSec IKEv1 / IKEv2 VPN(create yours with my Ansible Playbook or deploy on DigitalOcean)
- Xcode 7+
- An Apple iOS developer account
To compile the project, you may temporarily modify the bundle_id after adding yours into the Apple Developer Center. And then activate the following capabilities of the container App and the Today extension:
- Personal VPN
- Keychain Sharing
- App Groups
Meanwhile, provisioning profiles are required for testing on iPhone/iPad.
After creating a VPN configuration you can activate the Today Widget in Notification Center, then turn on the VPN by tapping switches or flags. You may be asked to allow the installation of a VPN profile for the first time.
Issues and roadmap are listed here.
This project follows the gitflow workflow. You'd better create a branch called feature/sth_improved before any major improvements. Meanwhile minor bug fixes are welcomed in the develop branch.
Please contribute to the Transifex project.
VPN service providers may list a link for their customers to efficiently add server configurations in VPN On. By register the vpnon:// protocol, it supports the following URL scheme:
vpnon://{account}:{password}@{server}/?title={title}&group={group}&secret={secret}&alwayson=[yes|no]&ikev2=[yes|no]
server and title are required, other fields are optional. The following URLs are valid:
-
vpnon://jony:ive@apple.com/?title=Apple&group=Design&secret=iPhone -
vpnon://apple.com/?title=Apple -
vpnon://admin@192.168.0.123/?title=Google&group=devops -
vpnon://admin@202.96.209.6/?title=Yahoo&alwayson=no -
vpnon://jony:ive@202.96.209.5/?title=Twitter&ikev2=yes
vpnon://VPNTitle/?connectvpnon://VPNTitle/?connect&callback=https://twitter.com
Although this App is 100% open-sourced, it may takes about 20~60 minutes to configure the environment. I'd appreciate it if you could buy VPN On from App Store.
