Virtual private networks (VPNs)
Use your phone to connect to virtual private networks (VPNs), which allow you to access
resources inside a secured local network from outside the actual network. For example,
VPN connections are commonly used by corporations and educational institutions for users
who need to access intranets and other internal services when they are outside of the
internal network, for example, when they are traveling.
VPN connections can be set up in many ways, depending on the network. Some networks
may require you to transfer and install a security certificate in your phone. See Connecting
your phone to a computer on page 65 for more information on how to transfer content
to your phone. For detailed information on how to set up a connection to your virtual private
network, please contact the network administrator of your company or organisation.
