Virtual private networks (VPNs) allow entry into secured local networks from the outside. Corporations, schools, and other institutions use VPNs to grant access to local network resources when people are not on campus or connected to a wireless network.
To configure VPN access, you must first obtain the details from your network administrator. Depending on your organization's solution, you may need to obtain a VPN app, either from your administrator or on Google Play.
