Conguration.
VPNs used within organizations allow you to communicate private information
securely over a non-private network. You may need to congure VPN, for example,
to access your work email on iPhone.
iPhone can connect to VPNs that use the L2TP, PPTP, or Cisco IPSec protocols. VPN
works over both Wi-Fi and cellular data network connections.
Ask your network administrator which settings to use. In most cases, if you’ve set up
VPN on your computer, you can use the same VPN settings for iPhone.
Once you enter VPN settings, a VPN switch appears in the Settings menu that you can
use to turn VPN on or o.
VPN may also be automatically set up by a conguration prole. See “Connecting to
the Internet” on page 22.
