I recently published an article[1] on How Apple could improve the VPNs experience on iOS. I hope someone at Apple finally decides to improve it on the next update.

It surprises me how Apple continues to add a lot of fancy feature and ignore basic day to day usability features like these.

VPNs are not an everyday feature for the vast majority of users.

True, but I wager they’re vastly more popular than you think, considering the amount of VPN advertising of the last few years. We’re not talking about PGP here.

Not for the "vast majority", but they are quite popular even for non-techy users, thanks to commercial VPN providers buying ads on YouTube and even offline. Narrative: if you don't use a VPN, hackers will steal all your data and your money. The apps from these providers are easy to set up. Even my mom asked me about it, it's surreal.
