Personal VPN not working

I set up a personal vpn at my home to use while traveling.

I unlocked my iPhone and restored it from a backup

Now whenever I turn on the vpn I have no access to the internet

Also my ip address is now IPv6 instead of IPv4

Solutions?

You have to delete the VPN profile and reinstall it however you did it originally. There’s a weird bug when you have a VPN set up and restore your phone from a backup. I’ve run into it a few times.

For future reference, you didn’t really need to restore the phone after it’s network unlocked. That hasn’t been necessary in a long time.

Ahh thank you so much. I created the profile while I was on the same network as my server. Since I can’t remote in I wouldn’t be able to create the profile correct ?

Which VPN protocol is it? If it’s WireGuard or Openvpn you can just import the initial config file your vpn server spits out. If it was something more ephemeral then yeah you can’t do anything right now.

I tried to manually create a new profile from the config file but still not working

Are you pointing to a domain or IP address for your home? Most residential services have dynamic IPs so it’s possible your home IP changed.

I’m pointing to an IP and yes it is possible. I’ll have my friend check the IP for me

I tried it with another phone and doesn’t work
