Last Updated February 21, 2023 By Subhash D 2 Comments

Do you need to make a private connection to your office while traveling? Do you want to open a website that is blocked in your country and want to hide your identity while you surf the internet? For such needs, all you need to do is to have a VPN connection.

You have an option of not only configuring VPN on desktops but your Android device is loaded with the necessary VPN protocols to set up a secure VPN connection. Although it is always an easy option to get a standalone VPN App from VPN service providers that offer both free as well as paid VPN connections.

How to set up a VPN connection on an Android device in easy steps.

Android supports all the latest VPN protocols that include PPTP, L2TP, IPSec Xauth RSA, and IPSec Hybrid RSA. To make a VPN connection on an Android phone, you need to open settings and click More under Wireless & Networks. Here you will find VPN.

Enter the protocol type and VPN server address.  Make sure PPP encryption, in the end, is checked, and now SAVE the settings.
