All iOS VPNs are worthless and Apple knows it, claims researcher
So basically turn on VPN and all new connections are encrypted, right? So if you need to make sure your connection is going through the VPN kill and restart the app? I wouldn’t call that useless.
I mean, even if connecting the VPN were to cut old connections, you still have the issue of the VPN dying.
it all depends on what you’re using the VPN for; I’m using it to access my home LAN away from home. For that purpose iOS’s VPN is fully functional.
Now if you’re using it to shield your traffic from prying eyes, it’s a completely different story, and iOS’s implementation is definitely completely inadequate, but I think it’s more an issue of how it’s architectured. I’m willing to bet it’s far from the only platform having the problem. -

EU considering new evidence to speed up antitrust case against Apple
It’s hilarious how some people here have a Fox News vision of the world where Amerikkka is the bastion of heroic capitalism and Europe is rife with filthy socialist gubments that torture poor multinational corporations.
The actual reality is that a vast majority of countries are under capitalist systems with social programs — of course some more than others. What do you think Social Security is, if not a social program? Same wity Medicare.
The whole “Capitalism vs. evil European Socialism” is nothing but a made up talking point. Europe just has governments that have not yet fallen to the interests of big business — at least to US big business — and they’re trying to regulate monopolies and unfair business practices, using laws not unlike what the US used to apply not that long ago.How they do that, however, leaves much to be desired, one just needs to look at the ridiculous conclusion of their decade long antitrust lawsuit against Microsoft for Windows, which only ended up focusing on Internet Explorer and forcing Microsoft to decouple the browser from the OS.
Going after Apple for monopolistic practices is ridiculous on its face, considering the extremely low market share of its platforms in Europe.Anyway, sorry for the long rant, but while I think it’s a totally fair point to qualify this lawsuit as protectionist, unfair, and a shakedown of the wealthiest company in the world (let’s face it, that’s exactly what it is) bringing in “capitalism vs socialism” is just utterly laughable. -
