ipad programming with vpn issues

Do iPad in the simulator and the Macbook share a same network? I have connect a wifi then VPN on my Macbook and everything works just fine on the outside Safari. But when I open the iPad simulator and it seems on that inside Safari the VPN is not set up yet cuz I cant access to my specified website. (But internet still works. I guess it is t开发者_如何学Pythonhe wifi)

Not sure if I make it clear. I wonder how can I solve this problem. Thanks for helping!

Generally the iOS Simulator runs with the same IP and actually in the same process space as other applications on your Mac.
