Unbreakable VPN Connection for iOS by Combining Wi-Fi and 4G / 5G Cellular with Speedify
A two-second dip in the cell signal is enough to close an ordinary VPN, since the VPN app has opened just one internet connection to one server. That is why an iPhone or iPad keeps losing the VPN.
Speedify takes a different route: Wi-Fi and mobile data are used at the same time, with your traffic encrypted across each of those internet connections, so a dip on one of them disconnects nothing and leaves nothing on your iPhone exposed.
You get the reasons an iPhone or iPad VPN keeps failing, and a clear picture of what using Speedify delivers: a VPN that stays on while you walk, commute and switch networks.
Should you have a backup 4G, 5G, Starlink, or cable internet connection?
Yes — every internet connection goes down, including Starlink, which drops for ~34 minutes a day on average. A backup connection from a different provider means one outage never takes you fully offline. The most common options are a 4G/5G cellular hotspot, a cable or DSL line, or a second satellite dish.

Works anywhere. Just a SIM or hotspot — no installation needed.

Almost all VPN services work the same way. They rely on a single Internet connection and a single socket with the VPN server to route all the data to and from your device. If anything goes wrong with that socket or with your Internet connection, the VPN is immediately disconnected.
That means a simple fluctuation in your cell signal or a momentary interruption to your Wi-Fi signal and you lose your VPN connection on your iPhone. And then you have to manually reconnect the VPN, which assumes you’re constantly watching your phone to see if the little VPN icon is still there.
Why VPN is Slow and Unstable on Your iPhone or iPad
The primary selling point of a VPN is its security. This is because almost all VPNs slow down your connection speed and provide unstable connections as a function of their design.
Even though your iPhone is capable of connecting to the Internet via cell signal and Wi-Fi at the same time, standard VPN apps do not take advantage of this ability. Instead they clog your bandwidth by first sending all the data to and from your phone through the single socket to the VPN server where the data is encrypted and then route that encrypted data back through the same socket and connection.
Speedify VPN for Mobility Solves VPN Disconnects on iPhones and iPads
Speedify was designed to solve the VPN disconnect problem and the slow connection issues. Speedify is a fast bonding VPN that actually improves your connection speed and delivers stable, reliable connection every time.
The Speedify protocol uses multiple parallel sockets to connect with the VPN server. The data is rapidly reassembled and encrypted on the server. Speedify also enables channel bonding. This means it uses your iPhone’s Wi-Fi and mobile data connections at the same time.
What you get is increased bandwidth, which allows all of your apps to run faster. Speedify runs in the background of your iPhone proactively monitoring the quality of your connections. It is equipped with auto failover so that if one connection goes down, it routes all the data through the existing connection until the lost connection is restored. All of this activity is automated. You don’t have to do anything, and you most likely won’t even notice anything different is happening.
Speedify is the future of VPN. It provides world-class encryption, without forcing you to sacrifice speed or reliability. Speedify works on all iOS and iPadOS devices starting with iOS 12 and later. This includes iPhones 5S, 6 and later, as well as iPads of 5th generation and newer. Please check the updated system requirements on the download page.
Speedify is also available in the AppStore. It only takes a few minutes to setup and requires no advanced technical skills or knowledge to use.
