VPN on demand is a clever Apple feature that enables a VPN connection to be initiated without needing to go into settings or even leave the application you want to use. However please note that iOS only supports VPN On Demand for networks that use certificated-based authentication (Rathe than username&Password authentication). You specify which domains require a VPN connection by using a configuration profile The VPN connection is made whenever the device tries to connect to certain domains. Specific apps don't need to do anything; as soon as they try to access such a server the VPN connection is initiated.
