In order to connect to your company's Virtual Private Network (VPN) or to some custom VPN you have set up, you need to know the following details:

• The IP address of the VPN server.
• The connection name and your VPN account details (username & password).
• Any custom technical configuration you might need to perform, in order for the connection to be established successfully.

In the right-click menu, click or tap Properties.

The Properties window opens for the selected VPN connection. Here you will find lots of tabs with settings that can be changed, related to security, networking protocols, etc.

Go to the Desktop and bring up the Networks pane (with a click or tap on the Network icon in the notification area of the taskbar). ' In the Connections section click or tap the VPN connection, then click or tap Connect.

You are asked to enter your user account details. Type the username and password for your VPN connection and click or tap OK.
