You can, and it stays on until you turn it off. Turn it off for a while when an app or website doesn’t work with it, then turn it back on.

When it helps most.
- On public Wi-Fi: in cafés, hotels, airports, trains and hospitals, anywhere the Wi-Fi isn’t your own.
- When you travel, to reach the services you use at home.
- At home, if you’d rather your internet provider didn’t see which websites you visit.
Not everyone needs it all the time. Don’t mind your provider seeing where you go online? Then you may only need it on public Wi-Fi and when you travel. More on a VPN at home.
When to turn it off for a while.
- A banking app or a streaming app refuses to work.
- A website won’t load or keeps asking you to prove you’re a person.
- You want to print or use AirPlay at home. While Orli VPN is on, your iPhone may not see devices on your home network.
What “stays on” means.
Orli VPN stays connected when you lock your iPhone or move between Wi-Fi and mobile data. You may see Connecting for a moment when the network changes. It never turns itself on, so after you restart your iPhone, press the button again.
How to tell it’s on.
The app says Protected, and a small VPN icon shows at the top of your screen or in Control Center. See Check that your VPN is working.
