VPN will not produce any notifications:
- It is unlikely that the iPhone will have VPN running constantly.
- The Orbi web interface does not have a notification feature.

VPN is tricky to get working, but is very stable once it is working. Since the web interface does not work well on a tiny phone screen, I open a Hot Spot on my phone, then connect a laptop or tablet to the Hot Spot and run VPN from that device.
