VPN On-deman not working as expected on IOS 10

Post by iwakan » Mon Sep 26, 2016 10:22 am

Hi Community!
Anyone is having problems with VPN On-demand profiles on IOS 10? I have a VPN profile loaded on my iPhone and iPad to bring up my VPN when I'm outside my home wifi and I'm trying to reach my internal domain. This profile was working fine until I have updated both devices to IOS 10, now, when I'm outside my wifi and I'm browsing with Safari (not to my internal domain), VPN randomly starts with no reason. I tried to uninstall OpenVPN Connect app and profiles from both devices and reinstall again with same buggy behavior. Any help will be appreciated!
Thank you.

I answer myself
After hard research I finally found the problem related to bookmarks stored in safari's favorites group. If you have any bookmark there with URL format (protocol://ondemand_vpn_domain:port) each time Safari is opened or randomly, VPN magically go up. Seems that the reason is that Safari tries to update the icon... but if URL bookmark don't use any port then all works fine... weird!!. This happens only with IOS 10.
Regards
