I deleted my last comment.

I have an iPad but use android for phones.

But I can't imagine apple has any apps that "need" a VPN. Unless your using the VPN solely because you want all your data hidden.

Vpns are kinda moot anyway in terms of personal security. If anyone wants to see your shit they can install something on your telephone pole that can supercede a VPN anyway. Gangs use stuff like that. It's fucked up but I've seen people use that shit to fuck up lives. Humanity sucks.

False.

My WireGuard VPN uses pre-verified encryption keys and all data between the nodes is encrypted with them.

Nothing (whether put there by the cell carrier, public wifi provider, or some gang member who climbed the telephone pole) can decrypt that communication except the devices which already have the keys.

I'm not sure what makes you think VPN security is moot, but you are misinformed.

Using a VPN is always more secure than not using one, particularly if you control the server on the other end.

The only time a VPN wouldn't help is if your device itself is compromised at which point you have other problems than a VPN anyway
