VPN settings overview

VPN is a technology that creates a secure network connection over a public network. A mobile device uses a VPN client to securely access protected corporate networks.

To use VPN:

  • On the device, the user installs a VPN client app.
  • Define a VPN setting in Core.
  • Apply labels to the VPN setting so that the VPN setting is sent to the appropriate devices.
  • Depending on the type of VPN, additional set up steps may be required to complete the VPN configuration.

Mobile@Work uses the VPN client and the VPN setting to enable access to corporate networks.
