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 the local network. You can get this information
from your network administrator.
Before you can initiate a VPN connection, establish a Wi-Fi or data connection. For information
about setting up and using these connections on your device, see Launch a Web Connection
and Turn Wi-Fi On and Connect to a Wireless Network.
