Passepartout is an app that I stumbled upon when I was looking for something that did the known wifi thing. It has worked great and was exactly what I wanted. https://passepartoutvpn.app/
Same problem. Couldn't get it to work.
I used this:
Log in with your PIA account
Currently my set up is US Washington
Endpoint is Auto
Protocols (in the endpoint page at the bottom)
Set to TCP: 443
That worked for me
My internet connection is 75Mbs down and 6Mbs up so I don't see any difference in throughput speeds and didn't expect to. When I use the Wireguard VPN from inside my internal network, I don't notice it is on.
I think there is a significant speedup in connection time, however.
Also, the Wireguard iOS App has a cool feature they call "On Demand". If you edit your connection and turn "On Demand" on, you can set it up to connect the VPN on "Any SSID"; "Only These SSIDs"; or "Except these SSIDs". I did this and selected "Except these SSIDs". I put in my two home wifi networks. Now, if the iPad connects to any SSID other than my home networks, the Wireguard VPN automatically connects.
I couldn't find this feature in the OpenVPN app and don't think it supports this. You can try Passepartout (https://passepartoutvpn.app) to get this functionality for OpenVPN, but my experience using it was not particularly good. The Wireguard app, by contrast, seems to work seamlessly, but I have done limited testing so far.
Use Passepartout (open source OpenVPN client for iOS with a very short/clear privacy policy): https://passepartoutvpn.app/
It has a “keep alive on sleep” option that works well. Lots of other useful settings as well.
Passepartout 1.9.0 migrates to a freemium model, which means the app will be FREE to download, with additional features available for purchase, namely:
To former users: do not worry, you will of course retain full access to all features and providers.
If you however are still prompted for a purchase, have a look at this FAQ:

What's new:
Ok I made my own research and found this passpartout and I'm testing right now on both my iPad and iPhone and the problem seems gone.
I'm glad because l it's the only opensource openvpn client for iOS I could find and actually fixes this problem. It also supports Windscribe out of the box.
That's kind of intended: https://passepartoutvpn.app/faq/#id-like-to-see-my-ip-address-in-the-app
But I understand you mean the IP address internal to the VPN, correct? IIRC the duration information was broken when read from the official VPN framework. I'll take note anyway.
Tutanota has an open source mail client
If you want to add a vpn client section; Passepartout is a good open source one that allows you to connect to many providers and does it automatically based on the network
..and problem resolved. This was the (non)-issue: https://passepartoutvpn.app/faq/#the-configuration-file-contains-an-unsupported-option-external-file

Please read the FAQ before anything else. Thanks!
