What are the consequences of disabling the Mobile VPN Connection?

The device is not protected because without the Mobile VPN connection, it connects to a public Internet connection. Therefore, it is exposed to all of the threats on the Internet. Device wipes will not function because MDM sends the wipe notification through the alerting mechanism provided by MDM Gateway Server. If you disable the Mobile VPN connection, MDM Gateway Server cannot address the device. If your company only has MDM enrolled devices and Microsoft Exchange Server ActiveSync is not exposed to the Internet, then devices cannot connect to Microsoft Exchange Server ActiveSync if you disable the Mobile VPN connection.
