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
Depending on the type of VPN you are using at work,
you may be required to enteryour login credentials
or install security certificates before you can connect
to your company’s local network. You can get this
information from your network administrator.
Before you can initiate a VPN connection, your phone
must first establish a Wi‑Fi or data connection.
For information about setting up and using these
connections on your phone, see “Internet” on page88
and “Turn Wi-Fi On and Connect to a Wireless Network” on
page129.
Set Up Secure Credential Storage
If your network administrator instructs you to
download and install security certificates, you must
first set up the phone’s secure credential storage
before setting up a VPN.
1. From home, tap Apps > Settings >
Lockscreen and security.
2. Tap Screen lock type > Pattern, PIN, or Password.
3. Follow the prompts to set up your secure screen
lock.
4. Tap Back to return to the main settings menu, and
then tap Other security settings.
5. Tap Trusted credentials and then tap your
preferred system and user credentials.
You can then download and install the certificates
needed to access your local network. Your network
administrator can tell you how to do this.
