iPhone VPN icon?

when i connect to a VPN service, i thought it used to put the VPN box at the top of the screen.

is there a way to do that so i know at a glance if i’m connected or not?

It does put a VPN box up by default. Just scroll down the top toolbar.

By any chance are you using an encrypted DNS service? anyway, Sometimes rebooting the device helps to display the VPN icon again if it was missing from the UI.

you’re right!
i just would be nice if there was a way to quickly see if i’m connected to a vpn or not.
thx.
