LocalDevVPN

LocalDevVPN creates a local virtual interface for network testing on iOS.

Our take

Choose it for a defined development experiment on the device

Custom addressing, connection status and logs make the test configuration visible.

Keep in mind: Despite the VPN name, it is not described as an external privacy or location-changing service; it should not be assumed to route through a remote endpoint.

Good for
