Create an Android VPN Restrictions Policy

The Android VPN Restrictions Policy lets you prevent users from configuring a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to access other networks. A VPN connection establishes a secure connection between you and the internet and disguises your IP address. This policy works for devices running Android 5.1 and later.

Prerequisites

• JumpCloud’s Android  EMM is configured for your organization. See Set Up Android EMM.
• Your Android devices are enrolled in EMM. See Add and Manage Android Devices and Users: Enroll Your Personal Android Device.

To create an Android VPN Restrictions policy:

1. Log in to the JumpCloud Admin Portal: https://console.jumpcloud.com/login.
2. Go to DEVICE MANAGEMENT > Policy Management.
3. In the All tab, click (+).
4. On the New Policy panel, select the Android tab.
5. Select the VPN Restrictions policy from the list, then click configure.
6. On the New Policy panel, optionally enter a new name for the policy, or keep the default. Policy names must be unique.
7. For Policy Notes, enter details like when you created the policy, where you tested it, and where you deployed it.
8. Under Settings, select Disable VPN Configuration to prevent users from configuring a VPN. If you don’t select this field, users can configure their own VPN.
