Connecting to virtual private networks
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 so that their users can access local
network resources when not on campus, or when connected to a wireless network.
There are numerous systems for securing VPN connections, including some that rely
on secure certificates or other schemes to ensure that only authorized users can
connect. For information about installing secure certificates, see “Working with secure
certificates” on page 74.
To configure VPN access from your phone, you must obtain the details from your
network administrator.
