Starting with Android 4.0, the ability to connect to an IPSEC VPN has been built in to the OS. This guide was made off of a mostly stock version of Android 4.2.2 on a Nexus4. Not every phone's setup will be the same as this guide, however most phones will be similar enough to this setup that you should be able to work it out.
| 1 | Open System Preferences and click on More... choice under "Wireless & Networks" | |
| 2 | Click on VPN choice | |
| 3 | If you do not have Lock Screen Security set up already, it will ask you to set it up now. The typical choise are a PIN or an unlock pattern | |
| 4 | Click the + at the top of your screen and fill out the menus as shown. Click Save when you are done. | |
| 5 | Click on Akron (or whatever you named your VPN) and enter your ID and password. Choose the option to save your login information if you want. | |
| 6 | Once your VPN is connected, you will get a key icon in your notification bar. If you pull down the bar you will get a "VPN activated" choice. If you wish to disconnect from the VPN, click this. |
