Setup VPN Connection on Client

You have two options to connect to VPN from remote PCs; 1) via the built-in Windows VPN client, or 2) the SoftEther VPN Client app.

We recommend using the Built-in Windows VPN Client. However, if for some reason this method does not work, then you’ll want to go with the SoftEther VPN Client app.

Built-in Windows VPN Client

1. Go to Start > Settings.
2. Click on Network & Internet.
3. Select VPN from the left pane.
4. Click Add a VPN connection.
5. Fill in the information as follows:
   • VPN provider: Windows (built-in)
   • Connection name: Organization Name Office
   • Server name or address: PROVIDED.softether.net
   • VPN type: L2TP/IPsec with pre-shared key
   • Pre-shared key: provided pre-shared key
   • Type of sign-in info: User name and password
   • Username: provided username
   • Password: provided password
6. Make sure the Remember my sign-in info box is checked, then click Save.

To connect, simply click the network icon in your system tray, select the VPN connection you just set up, then click Connect.

IMPORTANT: While connected to VPN, all your network traffic will be sent over that connection.

To disconnect from a VPN, again, click the network icon in your system tray, select it and click Disconnect.
