The iOS VPN app version 1.6.0 is no longer supported. To improve your experience, Malwarebytes now combines VPN features with our Security app, allowing you to manage both in one application.
To keep using your VPN subscription, please download our Mobile Security app. If you purchased a subscription through the Google Play or Apple App Store, you will need to cancel your existing subscription and purchase a new VPN subscription.
For instructions on how to purchase, install, and activate the new app, refer to our Mobile Security Quick Start Guide.
The VPN guide for iOS covers the basics of using the program. Learn how to download and install the VPN, activate it, connect to a private server, and other functions.
