- Step 1: Go to Settings
- Step 2: Then go to General
- Step 3: Then go to Network
- Step 4: You get there something spelled V-P-N, go there.
- Step 5: Add VPN Configuration.
Now, what to add, add your VPN provider’s configurations, that have been provided by them while you signed up.
For Example:
Server = pptp.vpnprovider.com (it will be provided by your VPN provider)
Account = Username (it will be your ‘username’ e.g. “MarkiMark”)
RSA Secure ID = Keep it off
Encryption = Keep it on Auto
Password = Enter your password here being provided by your VPN provider e.g. XXXXXXXX 
Send all Traffic = Keep it ON
Now after creating a VPN configuration you can also activate it and deactivate it. You will find an option of Turning Off and ON your VPN connection just beside where VPN is written in your Settings > Network area. If you want to deactivate the VPN, please make sure to turn off your Wifi first. As you know, it is extremely insecure to use WiFi on your iPad or iPhone without VPN or encryption.
Why VPN on iPad
VPN on iPad can help you resolve many issues. First foremost it will protect you from hackers and information thieves on public WiFi and will secure your Public WiFi connections. Second, it will also help you bypass internet censorship if you are in internet censored country, moreover if you want to access geo-restricted websites like Hulu, Netflix, BBC iPlayer, Spotify, Turntable and several other services.

Hello Geoff,
Thank you for contacting us and considering us worth taking help.
However, Geoff, I do not get your question clearly. Can you please explain, have you created your own VPN Connection through a server of your own or a server your company owns.
If you have created you own VPN Server and want to access your files on the server you have setup VPN on. you will have to have dedicated IP to enable port forwarding, if its a shared IP it won’t work because port forwarding is blocked on shared IP.
If you have dedicated IP, then please allow that dedicated IP to flow through that port e.g. port 21. which will allow you to access files on that server.
However, if you are using VPN services froma company owned VPN Server. Then please contact your system administrator or IT dept. to help you out with this. All companies have different standards of file access and security. They will be better able to guide you.
Thanks.
