CONNECTING TO VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORKS
Virtual private networks (VPNs) allow you to connect to the resources inside
a secured local network. VPNs are commonly deployed by corporations,
schools, and other institutions to let people access local network resources
when not on the premises or when connected to a wireless network.
Depending on the type of VPN you are using, you may be required to enter
your login credentials or install security certificates before you can connect to
your VPN. You can get this information from your network administrator.
NOTE:
You need to set a lock screen pattern, PIN, or password before you
can use credential storage (VPN).
