iOS Back To Home On-Demand

Hi! Not sure where to post this, but basically this is a feature request post.

Please, consider adding on-demand support for Back To Home VPNs on iOS. This would allow the OS to automatically enable VPN connection on Cellular and disable it when connected to the home network.

Do you mean like on the regular wireguard client? Where there is an On-Demand Activation at the bottom of the selections ( Cellular and WIFI ) ??

Wireguard client implementation would be a good start but you can actually do much more using filters. An example of this is Shadowsocks app where you can fully configure filters exposed by iOS APIs

It looks like you are asking the client to determine what they can access at the router?
If so, that is the role of the admin, and to ensure adequate firewall rules at the router........
I believe BTH has file share, but really the full firewall rule flexibility of regular wireguard.
So I am not sure this is the territory or responsibility of any wireguard app??? What am I missing?

No, I am asking MikroTik to implement on demand VPN toggling that would allow users to connect to the VPN automatically according to rules they prefer. For example, one such rule could be on Cellular network or outside of home WiFi

Your best then is to login to support and put in a recommendation suggestion

But I too recommend filing it mikrotik.com/support, there is a category for "suggest a new feature" in the support system. Does mean not immediate action for sure, but at least gets on a "list".

It in MikroTik's iOS app, there are hooks in the VPN API to support it. It a common feature for VPN APP on iPhone/iPad. But MikroTik does not implement the needed delegates to support it.
