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 are using at work, 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.

Before you can initiate a VPN connection, your phone must first establish a Wi-Fi or data
connection. For information about setting up and using these connections on your phone, see

connect to the network.

card. Your network administrator can tell you how to do this.

2. Insert the microSD card into your phone. See

Insert or Remove a microSD Card

3. From the Home screen, tap Apps

> Settings > Security > Install from SD card,

and install the necessary security certificates.
