About connection widgets
Add the Mobile Network and Wi-Fi widgets or the Data dashboard widget to the
Home screen to make it faster for you to turn on or off these connections. Tap the
widget or icon on the dashboard to turn on or off the connection.
Connecting to a virtual private network (VPN)
Add, set up, and manage virtual private networks (VPNs) so you can connect and
access resources inside a secured local network, such as your corporate network.
Depending on the type of VPN you’re using at work, you may be asked to enter your
login credentials and install security certificates before you can connect to your
company’s local network. You can get this information from your network
administrator.
Also, your phone must first establish a Wi-Fi or data connection before you can start a
VPN connection.

you must first set up the phone’s secure credential storage.
