Traditional VPN authentication relying on usernames and passwords is vulnerable to brute-force attacks, credential theft, and phishing. Miradore strengthens VPN security by automating certificate-based authentication. Through its integration with a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), Miradore can generate, deploy, and renew device-specific or user-specific certificates directly to managed endpoints. Once the certificate is installed, the VPN client can authenticate without user interaction, eliminating password fatigue and reducing helpdesk tickets for locked accounts. Miradore also tracks certificate expiration dates and can push renewal profiles before a certificate lapses, preventing service interruptions. In environments where regulatory compliance (e.g., HIPAA, GDPR, or PCI-DSS) mandates strong authentication for remote access, this automated certificate lifecycle is not just convenient—it is essential.
Securing Your Mobile Workforce: A Guide to VPN Management with Miradore Managing a remote fleet requires more than just tracking hardware; you need to ensure that the data moving between those devices and your office remains encrypted. While Miradore is not a VPN provider itself, it serves as a powerful control center for deploying and enforcing VPN connections across Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows devices. Miradore +1 Why Manage VPNs Through an MDM? Manually setting up a VPN on every employee's phone is a recipe for security gaps.

One of the most powerful features available through Miradore’s configuration of iOS devices is "Per-App VPN."
"Miradore VPN" is not a tunneling service, but a powerful configuration framework that secures the enterprise perimeter by automating VPN access on mobile endpoints. By leveraging Miradore to deploy certificate-authenticated, per-app, and on-demand VPN profiles, organizations can achieve a balance between strict network security and user privacy. Once the certificate is installed, the VPN client
Miradore is a cloud-based UEM platform designed to help organizations manage smartphones, tablets, laptops, and desktops across multiple operating systems, including Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. Its core functions—remote device enrollment, application deployment, policy enforcement, and inventory tracking—provide the foundation for automated VPN management. Crucially, Miradore integrates with various VPN protocols and third-party clients (such as OpenVPN, Cisco AnyConnect, or Windows native IKEv2) by pushing configuration profiles, certificates, and scripts to enrolled devices. This turns a potentially manual, error-prone process into a streamlined, scalable operation.
Without a UEM, deploying a VPN to an organization’s devices requires either physical access to each machine, lengthy user self-service instructions, or remote desktop interventions. Each method introduces delays and security gaps—users may postpone setup, misconfigure settings, or fail to install critical updates. Miradore automates this by allowing IT administrators to create a single VPN configuration profile (including server addresses, authentication methods, and split-tunneling rules) and push it to targeted device groups. For example, a company can assign a stricter VPN profile to its finance department’s laptops while providing a more permissive, always-on VPN configuration to field sales tablets. This granularity ensures that each user receives the exact level of access and encryption required for their role, without manual intervention. Securing Your Mobile Workforce: A Guide to VPN
