I've had FlipControlCenter installed for awhile. I just installed the SurfEasy VPN, so I tried adding the VPN toggle to my Control Center using FlipControlCenter. However, it doesn't work: I click it, and it remains "off", even if I go in and enable the SurfEasy VPN via Settings.

I'm thinking this has something to do with the odd way SurfEasy VPN is enabled: I must go to VPN settings and select "SurfEasy ON" *before* clicking the VPN toggle. If I just click the VPN toggle, it doesn't work.

Is there any way I can toggle SurfEasy VPN from my Control Center? Its a bit of a pain to go into Settings each time I enable/disable it.

Alternatively, can anyone recommend a good VPN that plays well with FlipControlCenter's VPN toggle?
 
I'm pretty sure the toggle is just for the built-in VPN, viz. the one you would otherwise enable in the Settings app. I don't think if works for any third party VPN apps (though I would be thrilled if somebody made one for Cisco Anyconnect)
 
A VPN on Demand profile will enable all the VPN flipswitches and toggles. I've personally got it working using the generic OpenVPN app and manually imported the necessary keys, certs and config files so it isn't the most user friendly thing to setup.
