Turning on a VPN is always a painful experience on an iOS device due to the deep nested menus. This App installs a Today Widget into Notification Center which make it possible to turn on a VPN in about 3 seconds(depends on the connection speed). Furthermore, by turning on On Demand feature, the VPN could be automatically connected when you visit any domain specified in this App. One more thing... You can even turn on a VPN with your shiny WATCH!!!
Requirements
- An iPhone/iPad running iOS 8.2+
- An IPSec IKEv1 / IKEv2 VPN(create yours with my Ansible Playbook or deploy on DigitalOcean)
- Xcode 6.3.2+
- An Apple iOS developer account
Build with Xcode
To compile the project, you may temporarily modify the bundle_id after adding yours into the Apple Developer Center. And then activate the following capabilities of the container App and the extensions(TodayWidget and WatchKitExtension):
- Personal VPN
- Keychain Sharing
- App Groups
Meanwhile, provisioning profiles are required for testing on iPhone/iPad.
Usage
After creating a VPN configuration you can activate the Today Widget in Notification Center, then turn on the VPN by tapping switches or flags. You may be asked to allow the installation of a VPN profile for the first time.

Donation
Although this App is 100% open-sourced, it may takes about 20~60 minutes to configure the environment. I'd appreciate it if you could buy VPN On from App Store.
