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 may be required to enter your 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.
To connect to a VPN, you must have Mobile data enabled, or your phone must be connected to a Wi-Fi
network. For information about setting up and using these connections on your phone, see
