Editing or Deleting a VPN

You can edit an existing VPN or delete it by touching and holding the name of the VPN. A
window pops up with a list of options.

It’s Not All Good:

No Quick Way to Start a VPN Connection

Unlike many other Android phones, the Galaxy Note 4 does not have a way to add a
shortcut to your Home screen to jump straight to the VPN screen. There may be third-party
solutions in the form of apps you can install that will add this functionality. Check the
Google Play Store.

Mobile Wi-Fi Hotspot

Your Galaxy Note 4 has the ability to share its cellular data connection with up to eight devices over
Wi-Fi. Before you use this feature, you normally need to sign up for a tethering or hotspot plan with
your cellular provider, which is normally an extra monthly cost.

Start Your Mobile Wi-Fi Hotspot

After your Wi-Fi hotspot is set up the way you want it, you can start it and begin sharing your Internet
connection.
