4.4. CONNECT TO VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORKS
Virtual Private Networks (VPN) are a group of individual networks on a public network (such
as the Internet) that connect to each other by private lines and communicate among
themselves by encryption technology so their data are kept safe from unauthorized access.
VPN is the infrastructure commonly adopted by corporations so their users can access
corporate network resources when they are not in offices or tripping out of town.
The mobile computer supports VPN connection to access the resources inside a secured
network from the outside.
There is a variety of security protocols for VPN. Some work based on secure certificates
while others requires passwords to permit the access. To access a VPN with secure
certificates, see Install Secure Certificates
.
To be able to set up a VPN connection on the mobile computer, obtain the needed
credentials from your network administrator, and note VPN is always accessed via mobile
data connection, i.e. the mobile computer’s HSPA+.
