My VPN on iPad 2 keeps popping on

My VPN on ipad 2 keeps popping on. I turned it off four times. But it pops back on. Anyone know how I can fix this without ‘deleting’ it??

Are you using a VPN App - or have you simply manually configured a VPN connection in Settigs?


If you are using a third-party VPN App, there is strong possibility that you have configured Connect On Demand somewhere in the individual App settings. This configuration setting may be worded as something else by the App (e.g., Kill Switch, Persistent Connection etc.) but it will have the same effect.


When so configured, the VPN App will try to ensure that your network is always protected by the VPN - as such, it will restart the VPN if has disconnected for any reason. When this occurs, you’ll see the VPN icon appear - and possibly the VPN App.
