How Secure is VPN Client on IPad That's Also Being Used As a Hotspot?

[snowmizer]

We are looking at allowing iPads to be used as personal hotspots for our field staff instead of MiFis. Our iPads have access to connect via a VPN connection. One of our tests was to connect to the VPN on the iPad and then connect a laptop to the hotspot. It appears that the VPN connection on the iPad is safe and isolated from the newly connected laptop but we would like confirmation as to how secure the VPN connection is on the iPad from the laptop?

Thanks.

Hi snowmizer ,

My recommendation , if you want to add extra-security to your VPN is to use certificate authentication with the IPAD.

Hope this helps,

We are using certificates. We just wanted to make sure that it wouldn't be possible for the laptop that connected to the iPad to get access to the VPN session easily.
