Deploy VPN Profile on Device

Now we need to deploy each VPN profile to corresponding mobile device. We will use the Apple iPhone as an example, but steps are typically absolutely the same for other devices too.

To setup VPN connection with DNS Safety we will be using WireGuard application for iPhone. Open the AppStore on your iPhone and search for Wireguard, install it to your iPhone.

iPhone Wireguard App

In your desktop browser, navigate to Admin UI / VPN / Clients and click the VPN Settings link for the user_iphone VPN profile.

VPN Settings of User1

A QR code will be shown for this given user profile.

Scan the QrCode

On your iPhone, click the Wireguard icon, and click Add a Tunnel button in the center of the app, select Create from QR code option.

iPhone Wireguard Add Tunnel

Scan the qrcode, and add click Save to actually add the tunnel to the iPhone.

Make sure you have clicked Save and Restart from the Admin UI after adding your VPN clients and configuring VPN server at least once, enable the VPN on your mobile phone.

Enable VPN

Being connected to 4G/5G network, try to navigate to verify.diladele.com site in Apple Safari. Connection should fail and Admin UI should show a blocked access.

Failed Connection to a Blocked Site

Blocked Access to a Site

Now try to access a normal web site, like for example nos.nl and make sure you are able to normally browse. Access to that site should also be visible in Admin UI / Traffic Monitor / Access Log.

Access to NOS

Allowed Access to a Site

Congratulations! The DNS filtering seems to be working correctly. If needed, repeat the process for other devices of yours.
