to sleep.

Touch this option to change this default behavior: either to stay connected to Wi-Fi only when the device is connected to a charger (when battery life isn’t a problem), or never to stay connected to Wi-Fi during sleep. The latter choice is likely to increase mobile data usage. You may want to revisit this set- ting if you receive a notification that you’re approaching your specified mobile data limit.

This screen also displays the following information:

MAC address: The Media Access Control (MAC) address of your device when connected to a Wi-Fi network.

IP address: The Internet Protocol (IP) address assigned to the device by the Wi-Fi network you are connected to (unless you used the IP settings to assign it a static IP address).

To turn Wi-Fi on or off, go to Settings > Wireless

Connect to virtual private networks

Virtual private networks (VPNs) allow you to connect to the re- sources inside a secured local network, from outside that net- work. VPNs are commonly deployed by corporations, schools, and other institutions to let people access local network re- sources when not on campus, or when connected to a wireless network.
