About VPN profiles

A VPN profile contains the information that you require to log in to a VPN. If you have a Wi-Fi® enabled BlackBerry® device and if your organization uses a VPN to control access to its network, you might be able to log in to the VPN and access your organization's network using a Wi-Fi network. Depending on your organization, you might have more than one VPN profile on your device. For more information about VPN profiles, contact your administrator.
