Use VPN server with Android - how it works

You can set up the connection to the VPN server on your Android smartphone if, for example, you want to access your company network. Read here how it works.

Install the VPN server on the Android smartphone

VPN is a popular and secure way to access corporate networks.

• Open the settings. Under the item "Wireless & networks" click on "More ..."
• Here you select "VPN" and then "Add VPN".
• Now you can make the settings. After entering the server address, select the type, such as PPTP, L2TP, L2TP / IPsec or PSK. With L2TP / IPsec PSK you have to enter a key (password).
• The other settings are loaded automatically.

Install security certificates from SD card

The most secure VPN server is L2TP / IPsec CRT. However, you need a security certificate for this. You can install the certificate directly from a microSD card.

• To do this, open the settings. Under "User" you will find the item "Security".
• Under "Device management" you will find "Install from SD card". You can easily install certificates from the SD card.
• You will also find the "Delete login data" item. If necessary, the certificates can be removed here.
