Can I restrict users from turning off VPNs on devices managed by Jamf School?

Updated over 3 months ago

Description

Jamf School ability to manage VPN settings depends on the VPN type.

IKEV2 VPNs

Jamf School can restrict IKEv2 VPNs from being turned off by users if it is configured and deployed directly from Jamf School.

Once deployed, these VPNs can be set to "always on," ensuring continuous connectivity that cannot be disabled by the end user.

Other VPN Types

For all other VPN types, Jamf School does not have the ability to prevent users from turning the VPN off. These VPNs can be disabled manually by the user.

While Jamf School can restrict users from creating new VPN profiles, it does not enforce an "always on" status for these types of VPNs.
