Connect to a Virtual Private Network (VPN)

installed, if it's available in the Windows Store. For help with third-party VPN software, contact the third-party
VPN provider.
Set up a new VPN connection
1. Ask your network admin for your company’s virtual private network (VPN) server name. Example:
Contoso.com or 157.54.0.1 or 3ffe:1234::1111.
2. Make sure you’re connected to a network.
3. Open the Settings charm, then tap or click Change PC settings > Network > Connections.
4. Under VPN, tap or click + and enter the info for connecting to your VPN.
Can’t connect? See Connect to a Virtual Private Network (VPN) on Surface.com.
Connect or disconnect from a VPN
1. Open the Settings charm, and then tap or click the wired or wireless network icon.
2. Under Connections, tap or click your VPN connection, then choose Connect or Disconnect.
Workplace join

workplace on Windows.com.
