VPN Access
VPN (virtual private network) provides secure access over the Internet to private
networks, such as the network at your company or school. Use Network settings to
congure and turn on VPN. See “Network” on page 199.
Personal Hotspot
You can use Personal Hotspot (Internet Tethering on GSM models) to share an Internet
connection with a computer connected to iPhone via Bluetooth or USB. With a CDMA
model, you can also use Personal Hotspot to share an Internet connection with a
computer or other Wi-Fi capable device—such as an iPod, iPad, or other iPhone—
connected to your iPhone via Wi-Fi.
Note: This feature may not be available in all countries or regions. Additional fees may
apply. Contact your carrier for more information.
You rst need to set up the service with your carrier. If you haven’t done this, the Set
Up Internet Tethering or Set Up Personal Hotspot button appears in your Network
settings in place of the Internet Tethering or Personal Hotspot button. To contact your
carrier, tap Set Up Internet Tethering.
Personal Hotspot works only if iPhone is connected to the Internet over the cellular
data network.
