In previous section. When I create assignment I have enabled "App Tunneling" and choose a existed Per-App VPN Profile and enabled "Application Configuration" and add two key-values pairs to control my app can send email or not.

Since I have enabled App Tunneling and choose a Per-App VPN Profile there will be a profile auto downloaded to my device and you will see it in the Settings -> VPN

You need to download an app named "Tunnel" for App Tunneling feature. 

When you open the app you assigned to your device with App Tunneling feature on you will see the VPN mark on the left top corner on your device.

Here I have enabled "Application Configuration" and add two key-values pairs to control my app can send email or not.

This means that I have disabled the send email feature in my app.
