Android VPN

Our new feature Virtual Private Network (VPN) for Android enhances your security via a private network. With this you can ensure protection to the sensitive data.

Android Restrictions

We are excited to announce that we have added three new key features to the android restrictions. This includes the options to Force Wi-Fi and Force Bluetooth under Basic Restrictions and the option Factory Reset Protection (FRP) under Advanced Restrictions – Apply with one click right from the console!



Here is how it can be configured!

1. Login to your Hexnode MDM Portal.
2. Go to Policies > Android Settings > Restrictions > Allow Network Settings > Force Wi-Fi / Force Bluetooth.
3. Check the option and associate the policy to force wi-fi / bluetooth on your devices.

To activate FRP!

1. Login to your Hexnode MDM Portal.
2. Go to Policies > Android Settings > Advanced Restrictions > Factory Reset Protection (Google Account Verification).

Once FRP is activated, it prevents use of a device after a factory data reset, until you log in using a Google username and password previously set up on the device.
