Wi-Fi needs a sign-in
Disconnect the VPN, complete the network sign-in page, and then reconnect.

Three common causes
Ask support to checkAnother VPN is active
Keep one VPN profile active and do not remove a managed work profile without the administrator.
It stops after locking
For the test, turn off Low Power Mode and enable automatic date and time.
Detailed help for iPhone
Open the item that matches the message or behavior on your device; avoid changing several settings at once.
Troubleshoot disconnects after locking the screen
Update iOS and TestFlight first. During diagnosis, turn off Low Power Mode, set date and time automatically and confirm the Internet still works with MosVPN disconnected. A public Wi-Fi login page can also interrupt an existing tunnel.
Only one VPN configuration should be active during the test. Review the list under Settings, General, VPN & Device Management. Do not remove a school or company profile without asking its administrator, because that can affect email, certificates and work access.
Compare Wi-Fi and mobile data without losing the evidence
Use the same phone, server and target service on Wi-Fi and then on mobile data. If only one network fails, note the network type and the time. Change one setting at a time; reinstalling the app, switching servers and changing DNS together makes the result impossible to interpret.
TestFlight builds are available for a limited period set by Apple. If a build expires, open the current official invitation or MosVPN account instructions. Build availability and your paid account term are separate matters.
Check your iPhone before installing
Open Settings, General and About to confirm the iOS version. MosVPN currently requires iOS 15 or later. A managed work phone, an older device or an existing organisation profile may prevent a new VPN configuration from being added.
Install from the official MosVPN TestFlight invitation. Confirm the app name before accepting it. Do not enter your Apple Account password on an unrelated page, and do not install a profile sent by an unknown account.
Frequently asked questions
What iOS version does MosVPN require?
The current published requirement is iOS 15 or later. Check this page again before installing because application requirements can change with a new release.
Why can my iPhone not add the VPN configuration?
An existing VPN, device-management policy or organisation profile may prevent the change. Review VPN & Device Management and consult the administrator if it is a managed phone.
Why is the VPN icon visible but the Internet does not work?
Disconnect MosVPN and confirm the base network works, then set date and time automatically, complete any Wi-Fi sign-in page and retest with only one VPN active.
What happens when a TestFlight build expires?
Apple limits the testing period of each build. Use the current official invitation to obtain an available build; this is separate from the remaining term of your MosVPN account.
