VPN-connection is organized in order to unite individual computers or local networks into a single virtual network. As a result, the integrity and secrecy of the transmitted information within this network is ensured. The VPN connection can be configured both for the needs of private networks and for providing access to the Internet by providers.
Instructions
Step 1
Click on the "Start" menu and select "Control Panel". Find the "Network and Internet" section. To establish a VPN connection, you must run the Network and Sharing Center snap-in. You can also click on the network icon in the tray and select a similar command. Proceed to create a new connection or network, noting that you need to organize a connection to the desktop. Click "Next". You will be prompted to use an existing connection. Check the box "No, create a new connection" and proceed to the next stage of the settings.
Step 2
Select the "Use my internet connection" command to set up a VPN connection. Defer the resulting Internet setup prompt before continuing. A window will appear in which you need to specify the address of the VPN server according to the contract and come up with a name for the connection, which will be displayed in the Network and Sharing Center. Check the box "Do not connect now", otherwise the computer will try to establish a connection immediately after configuration. Check Use Smart Card if the remote VPN peer authenticates the smart card connection. Click Next.
Step 3
Enter the username, password and domain, according to which you get access to the remote network. Click the "Create" button and wait until the VPN connection is configured. Now you need to establish an internet connection. To do this, click on the network icon in the system tray and start configuring the properties of the created connection.
Step 4
Open the Security tab. Set "VPN Type" to "Automatic" and "Data Encryption" to "Optional". Check the box "Allow the following protocols" and select the CHAP and MS-CHAP protocols. Go to the "Network" tab and leave a tick only next to the item "Internet Protocol version 4". Click the "OK" button and connect the VPN connection.
