The recent surge in ability to access information on-the-go, using Wi-Fi hotspots, has led to increasing security concerns with respect to sensitive personal information being shared on increasingly public servers. VPN’s provide mobile devices such as the iPhone 5, a quick, easy way to safely and securely access the Internet from any location. A VPN secures your iPhone 5 through encryption of data (both received and sent), which reinforces the barrier fending off outside parties that could try to hack into your information.
When it comes to VPN setup, the newly introduced iOS 6 handles more or less the same as its predecessors. The most serious improvement to the recent iOS (post-iOS 4) is the ability for pertinacious VPN connectivity – VPN’s that remain connected through even idle-screen locks, thus providing for hours of uninterrupted connection at your favorite café (Push notifications for emails need to be enabled for this feature to work). Okay. So they’re not that dark or diabolical.
Follow Steps 1 – 4 listed above for the PPTP connection. At Step 5, however, fill in the field for the “Secret” provided by your VPN vendor as well as your username and password. Continue to follow the remaining Steps (Steps 6 – 10) for PPTP connection. Lo and behold! Your L2TP connection has been set up.
Always remember to look for a VPN vendor that can provide support for your required iPhone 5 and iOS (PPTP/L2TP). Here is a “smart six” list of our picks for VPNs that rate high on the safety and security scale and yet, are easy on the wallet. Remember to compare all features, short-term/bulk pricing, online reviews and recommendations, and your daily usage requirements before you choose the VPN that’s right for you! Good luck and stay secure!
