iOS VPN configuration with WS1 Web

Hello,
My question is about VPN configurations on iOS, other than Workspace ONE Tunnel. In our case, using Pulse Secure VPN.
To explain the context : We have an on-demand VPN configuration, but we must go to a per-app VPN configuration for the VPN to work with a phishing VPN solution.
On-demand VPN is working correctly : When users calls an internal resource, the VPN is mounting automatically.
With per-app VPN :

  • Things are working correctly with Safari only : Everything outside the VPN, and only internal resources inside the VPN (internal domain declared as "Safari Domains" in the VPN configuration).
  • Things are not working correctly with Workspace ONE Web : Everything is going inside the VPN (when VPN configuration is associated with the app, of course).

I spent many hours trying different configurations in the VPN profile, and never find a way to get the expected behavior.
I also tried to check with the support, but haven't had a satisfying answer (they told me to user WS1 Tunnel, for which we don't have licences and don't have plans to buy some).
Perhaps somebody had the same problematic ? And hopefully have an answer (perhaps it's impossible with WS1 browser) ?
Moreover, can somebody explain me some of the options in VPN configuration ? And the way to correctly configure them ? Like "Associated Domains" and "Excluded Domains". And also the "new on-demand keys" (I think I've quite understood how it works, but haven't managed to make it working correctly : Whatever the configuration, the VPN seems to connect automatically).
Thank you for your answers.
Aurélien
