Which configuration profile type is used for setting up VPN on devices?

The VPN configuration profile is specifically designed to configure Virtual Private Network settings on devices. When deploying devices in a managed environment, such as for remote work or secure access to company resources, a VPN configuration profile allows administrators to define the parameters needed for VPN connectivity.

This configuration profile includes settings such as the VPN type (e.g., L2TP, IKEv2), server address, remote ID, authentication credentials, and encryption methods. By using a dedicated VPN configuration profile, organizations simplify the process of deploying and managing VPN connections, ensuring that all required settings are consistent across all user devices.

This tailored profile is essential for establishing secure network connections and is distinct from other configuration profile types that serve different purposes, such as connecting to Wi-Fi networks, enforcing device security settings, or implementing general device management protocols.
