Setup VPN Configuration Profile
The VPN Configuration profile enables administrators to effectively set up enrolled devices, allowing them to establish a secure connection to a wireless network using a VPN. By configuring a VPN profile, administrators gain the ability to remotely manage the network connectivity of enrolled devices.
To configure SureAccess remotely on the enrolled devices, follow these steps:
Navigate to SureMDM Web Console > Profiles > iOS/iPadOS > Add > VPN > Configure.
Configure the following VPN settings and click Save:
