On iPhone/iPad, VPN is under Settings, near the top (just under the other network stuff like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, & Cellular). I imagine Android is similar, but don't have one handy. See this thread regarding exposing Perspective to the internet directly (rather than behind a VPN): > [@Remote Web Access via Ignition Perspective App - Ignition Maker 8.0.14](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/remote-web-access-via-ignition-perspective-app-ignition-maker-8-0-14/37096): > > Hi All, I can get access to ignition via the App over my home wifi but not from my public ip address (ISP static IP). I have added port forwarding for 8088 to my router but the app is not connecting. Is there an additional step? Does it only work from a public IP address if I use SSL? Note - All security settings are currently still default. VPN is less convenient for users, but is generally the accepted way to secure remote access. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/perspective-viewing-on-laptops-phones-tablets-how-to-connect-it-all/38768)._
