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 travelling.
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 115 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.
