Virtual Private Networks (VPN)
From your device, 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 Device 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 device must be connected to a Wi-Fi
network. For information about setting up and using these connections on your device, see Data Usage
