VPN Configuration Profile
The VPN 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 VPN settings, follow these steps:
Navigate to SureMDM Web Console > Profiles > Windows > Add > VPN > Configure.
Enter a Profile Name.
