More and more users are concerned about their privacy while browsing from mobile devices. The simplest and the best way to deal with this problem is to use a VPN service. This is why I start a new category of posts that briefly presents how to setup a VPN connection on the most popular cell phones.

Today, Motorola DROID 2. It comes with Android 2.1 and includes support for Virtual Private Network (VPN) connectivity. Here a step by step tutorial that shows how to setup a VPN connection.

Add a new VPN connection:

Press the Home icon, press Menu, and tap Settings
Tap Wireless & networks
Tap VPN settings

Tap Add VPN

Select the type of VPN to add (PPTP, L2TP, L2TP/IPSec PSK VPN, L2TP/IPsec CRT VPN)

Fill in VPN details such as VPN name, VPN server, etc (the required settings will depend on type of VPN selected)

Connecting to the VPN:

Press the Home icon, press Menu, and tap Settings (figure 1 above)
Tap Wireless & networks
Tap VPN settings (figure 2 above)
The VPN connections you have added are now listed
Tap the VPN you wish to connect to
A dialog box will open asking for your credentials, enter them and touch connect

Disconnecting from the VPN:

Simply open the notifications panel at the top of the screen on your Motorola DROID 2 and click on the VPN notification, then tap disconnect.
