Virtual Private Network (VPNs)

Virtual Private Networks (VPNs)

Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) are private networks that can be accessed
over a public backbone network (like the Internet) without compromising
their privacy. Typically, they maintain their privacy by forming secure
(encrypted) "tunnels" directly to users who access them.

Automatically Launching a VPN Connection

You can configure any network profile to automatically connect to a Virtual
Private Network whenever you connect using that profile. Follow these
steps:
1. If you have not already done so, configure the connection settings for

the VPN you wish to connect to. (See Configuring a VPN Connection).

2. Open the Network Profiles window.

3. In the left pane, select the profile for which you want to automate

VPN connection.

4. Click the

Edit

button. The properties sheet for the selected profile

appears.

5. If the General tab is not already selected, select it now.
