Wi-Fi Direct can allow your device to connect to other BlackBerry devices without using access points or a router so you
can share files, such as media files, without an Internet connection.
Note:
Although you can use Wi-Fi Direct to connect your device to other types of Wi-Fi CERTIFIED devices, apps on your
device might not be able to share files with other devices.

Add a VPN profile
You need a Wi-Fi or VPN connection before you can add a new VPN profile.
A VPN profile contains the information that you need to log in to your organization's network over a VPN or Wi-Fi
connection. You might have one or more VPN profiles on your BlackBerry device, depending on the options that your
administrator sets for you.
If you use a work account that is supported by an Enterprise Mobility Management solution from BlackBerry, some VPN
profiles might be automatically added and you don't have to manually add a VPN profile. If you don't see an option to add a
VPN profile, then your administrator has turned off this type of connection.
