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

credentials or install security certificates before you can connect to your company's local network.
You can get this information from your network administrator.
