Last updated January 2, 2024 by Appdome

Learn how to make iOS apps work with Per App VPN in minutes – no code or coding required. Secure mobile data in transit fast and easy. Per App VPN Routing is a feature supplied by Apple’s iOS to tunnel connections through a VPN.

The only way to configure Per-App VPN is by enrolling the device in a Mobile Device Management (MDM) system and linking apps that are managed by the MDM system with a VPN configuration. The app’s traffic will then be handled by Apple’s VPN component.

  1. Enforce Strong RSA Signature
  2. Enforce Strong ECC Signature
  3. Enforce SHA256 Digest
  4. Enforce Certificate Roles
  5. Validating Basic Constraints for CA certificates
