securely over a non-private network. You may need to congure VPN, for example, to
access your work email on iPhone.

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.

can use to turn VPN on or o.

is determined using available information from cellular network data, local Wi-Fi
networks (if you have Wi-Fi turned on), and GPS (iPhone 3G or later; GPS may not be
available in all locations).
