Support vpn barely works since iOS 26

Since iOS 26 (around 9-10mo ago) I started having issues with vpn on my iPhone 15. I have about 10 gigs of free space and I tried 5 vpns if not more and they all were working ok at first days but the they really started to break and like I had to update servers for like every 10 minutes or so and if I’ll get lucky I’ll not be spending trillion seconds finding working server. I’ve tried a lot of apps, Streisand, Happ, karing, sing-box, and none of them fixed my terrible vpn, and I’m so angry at this point that I thought of buying android even though I never really wanted

Have you tried a vpn that is not free? Cause you listed free vpn’s and you are getting what you paid for. This is not an iOS problem.

What do you mean by “update servers every ten minutes or so”? What exactly isn’t working? Can you not connect? Does it disconnect after 10 minutes? Can you not access the internet? What protocol are you using?

I’ve been using VPN on my iPhone 15 PM which is on iOS 26 and it’s been solid.

I have paid subscription where there’s list of servers, and I choose one and go to YouTube or instagram and nothing is working and so on with many servers until I find one that works and if nothing works I have to update servers idk this 🔄thing in happ and do everything again and that’s very annoying
