Mobile VPN

Select Menu > Tools > Settings > Connection > VPN. The Nokia mobile virtual private network (VPN) client creates a secure connection to compatible corporate Intranet and services, such as e-mail. Your device connects from a mobile network, through the Internet, to a corporate VPN gateway that acts as a front door to the compatible corporate network. VPN client uses IP Security (IPSec) technology. IPSec is a framework of open standards for supporting secure exchange of data over IP networks.

VPN policies define the method used by VPN client and a VPN gateway to authenticate each other, and the encryption algorithms that they use to help protect the confidentiality of data. Contact your corporation for a VPN policy.

To use VPN with an application, the application must be associated with a VPN access point. A VPN access point is made up of an Internet access point and a VPN policy. To manage VPN, select VPN management > Options > Open and from the following options:

•VPN policies — Install, view, and update VPN policies.
