VPNs (virtual private networks) are often used within organizations to allow you to communicate private information securely over a non-private network. You may need to configure VPN, for example, to access your work email on iPhone or iPod touch.*

iPhone or iPod touch* can connect to VPNs that use the L2TP or PPTP protocol. VPN works over both Wi-Fi and EDGE network connections.

CONFIGURE VPN

Choose General > Network > VPN and tap Settings. 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 or iPod touch.*

TURN VPN ON OR OFF

Once you've entered VPN settings, a VPN switch appears at the top level of the Settings list.

Tap Settings and turn VPN on or off.
