VPN restriction not working as outlined in documentation

Hi

Does anyone know why the ‘allowVPNcreation’ restriction available to supervised devices doesn’t apply to third-party apps? This Support page says it should: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/deployment/dep0f7dd3d8/web

Thanks

Any Apple engineer able to reply?

Seemingly, from my initial testing, this behaviour has changed for the better in iOS 18 public beta

Seems like apple patched it on ios 18

Does anyone know if the "allowVPNcreation" setting will cause devices upgraded to iOS 18 to be unable to use 3rd party VPN apps?

https://support.apple.com/en-us/121158 The "allowVPNCreation" restriction now prevents VPN settings from being modified by unmanaged apps.
