    Where did you read that I said iOS doesn’t support adding VPNs?

    My message is clearly talking about side loading. Don’t twist my words.

      I do wish it were possible to make iOS more free. With that said, is it a fair comparison to draw when someone only knows how to use a VPN if it’s in the App Store, whether Apple’s or Google Play?

      So novices on either platform are harmed by lessened app availability even while both could be instructed to set a VPN up in settings or sideload an app.

      Now if it’s a TOR browser or something, that’s a big L for Apple.

      Plenty of tools to Sideloadly on iOS; https://sideloadly.io/ pops to mind as one example of such.

      What kind of sad existence feels compelled to double down on spewing misinformation when being called out? Here, have a pity upvote.

        Imagine thinking that’s the same thing as Android’s side loading support. The cope is real.
