VPN
Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) allow you to connect to the resources inside
a secured local network, from outside that network. VPNs are commonly
deployed by corporations, schools, and other institutions to let people access
local network resources when not on campus, or when connected to a
wireless network.
To configure VPN access, you must first obtain the details from your network
administrator. Depending on your organization’s solution, you may need to
obtain a VPN app, either from your administrator or on Google Play.
The VPN settings screen allows you to add VPN networks and adjust their
settings. To view this screen and perform the tasks described here, go to
Settings > WIRELESS & NETWORKS > More > VPN.
