If possible, start a VPN connection in the iPhone app?

as a topic, I want to establish a VPN connection in the iPhone application, if possible? but for this purpose it is not a public API.

who will tell, thanks.

I saw RDP through VPN using an iPhone (although I did not configure it myself) and Cisco indicates support for VPN connections to iPhone in the ASA series:

And Apple provides instructions .

Thus, VPN connections using various protocols are certainly possible. However, initiating a connection programmatically is another matter.

I did some extra reading (including old posts here on SO like a VPN connection to Objective-C ).

The more I think about it, allowing the application to quietly initiate a VPN connection can be a big security risk. I would be surprised to see API support.

However, creating your own VPN client on the iPhone (though much more complicated than calling an API) is still theoretically possible.
