Hi

Does anyone know why the ‘allowVPNcreation’ restriction available to supervised devices doesn’t apply to third-party apps? This Support page says it should: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/deployment/dep0f7dd3d8/web

Thanks

This is addressed in the seed releases of iOS 18 and iPadOS 18. In those seeds, the allowVPNCreation restriction now prevents VPN settings from being modified by unmanaged apps.
