Apple iPhone - Add a Virtual Private Network

Here's how to add a Virtual Private Network to your iPhone.
If you need to add a virtual private network (VPN) to encrypt your internet traffic and protect your online identity via a secured remote server when remotely accessing company systems (e.g., company email, intranet sites, etc.) from your Apple® iPhone®, follow these step-by-step instructions.
  • Virtual Private Network (VPN) settings may not allow the device to connect to an unsecured Wi-Fi connection.
  • The device may not indicate that a Wi-Fi connection has been ended due to this restriction.
  • If available, the device resumes a 4G connection and data usage may be incurred.
