CONNECTING TO VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORKS
Virtual private networks (VPNs) allow you to connect to the resources inside
a secured local network. VPNs are commonly deployed by corporations,
schools, and other institutions to let people access local network resources
when not on the premises or when connected to a wireless network.
Depending on the type of VPN you are using, you may be required to enter
your login credentials or install security certificates before you can connect to
your VPN. You can get this information from your network administrator.
NOTE: You need to set a lock screen pattern, PIN, or password before you
can use credential storage (VPN).
Adding a VPN
1. Swipe up on the home screen and tap Settings > Network & internet >
Advanced > VPN.
2. Tap and enter the VPN name.
3. Enter the server address and other information provided by your network
administrator. Swipe up and check Show advanced options to fill out
additional details.
4. Tap SAVE.
The VPN is added to the list on the VPN screen.
