Connect to virtual private networks

Virtual private networks (VPNs) allow you to connect to the resources inside a secured local network,
from outside that network. VPNs are commonly deployed by corporations, schools, and other
institutions to let people access local network resources when not on campus, or when connected to a
wireless network.

To configure VPN access, you must first obtain the details from your network administrator. Depending
on your organization's solution, you may need to obtain a VPN app, either from your administrator or
from Android Market.

The VPN settings screen allows you to add VPN networks and adjust their settings. To view this screen
and perform the tasks described here:

1

From a Home or All Apps screen, touch the Settings icon

.

2

Under Wireless & networks, touch More > VPN.

Add a VPN

1

From the VPN screen, touch Add VPN network.

2

In the form that appears, fill in the information provided by your network administrator

3

Touch Save.

The VPN is added to the list on the VPN screen.
