AutoVPN Tweak is a powerful jailbreak tweak designed to innovate VPN usage on your iDevice.
This tool automatically turns your VPN on or off based on specific scenarios, such as launching sensitive apps, using untrusted WiFi networks, opening banking accounts, etc.
This article will cover Auto VPN Tweak Installation, Features, and Alternatives.
The main advantage of this VPN tool is that you can customize the options, like which apps you need to bypass with the VPN, select triggering networks, and customize the status bar indicator.
AutoVPN intelligently manages your VPN connection. Instead of always having your VPN on (which can slow down your device or block some apps), AutoVPN activates your VPN only when you need it most, such as when you join a risky network or open a banking app.
To install the AutoVPN tweak, you need a jailbroken iOS device. If your device is not jailbroken yet, try our AI Jailbreak finder app to find the jailbreak tool that best matches your device data.
