    Secure network services such as virtual private networking
    (VPN) typically require minimal setup and configuration to
    work with iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro devices.


  Are VPNs becoming obsolete?
    https://start.duckduckgo.com/?q=why+vpn+will+become+obsolete&start=1&ia=web   

    VPNs are becoming obsolete due to their security risks,
    operational inefficiencies, and the rise of more effective
    alternatives like zero-trust network access (ZTNA) that
    provide better control and security for remote access. As
    organizations shift towards cloud-based solutions, the need
    for traditional VPNs diminishes significantly.

    If you are an Apple user, you likely don't need a VPN for
    basic security and privacy if browsing only with Safari.
    Private Relay uses a single, secure connection to maintain 
    privacy and performance. 
    
    For the average iPhone user with iCloud Private Relay
    enabled and mostly using Safari on trusted networks, the
    marginal benefit of a VPN is relatively modest. Apple has
    genuinely raised the floor on privacy.
