Virtual Private Networks (VPN)

From your phone, you can add, set up, and manage virtual private networks (VPNs) that allow
you to connect and access resources inside a secured local network, such as your corporate
network.

Prepare Your Phone for VPN Connection

Depending on the type of VPN, you may be required to enter your login credentials or install
security certificates before you can connect to your company’s local network. You can get this
information from your network administrator.

To connect to a VPN, you must have Mobile data enabled, or your phone must be connected to
a Wi-Fi network. For information about setting up and using these connections on your phone,

Set a Screen Lock

Before setting up a VPN, you must set a screen lock to prevent access to your phone by
unauthorized users. Pattern, PIN, or password screen locks provide sufficient security to set up
trusted credential storage.
