VPN On

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.

Requirements

An iPhone running iOS 8.1
An IPSec IKEv1 / IKEv2 VPN(create yours with my Ansible Playbook or deploy on DigitalOcean)
Xcode 6.1.1
An Apple iOS developer account

Build with Xcode

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 both the container App and the widget:

Personal VPN
Keychain Sharing
App Groups

Meanwhile, provisioning profiles are required for testing on iPhone.

Usage

After creating a VPN configuration you can activate the Today Widget in Notification Center, then turn on the VPN by tapping the switch. You may be asked to allow the installation of a VPN profile for the first time.

Contribution

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.

Localization

Please contribute to the Transifex project.

URL Scheme

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]&certificate={certificate}

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://jony:ive@202.96.209.5/?title=GitHub&ikev2=yes&certificate=https://github.com/

Donation

Although this App is 100% open-sourced, it may takes about 20~60 minutes to configure the environment. I'd appreciate if you could buy VPN On from App Store.

KeychainWrapper Note: I set the optimization level of VPNOnKit to None in order to read Keychain properly due to an issue of Swift.
