Connect to a VPN in Windows 10

Whether it’s for work or personal use, you can connect to a virtual private network (VPN) on your Windows 10 PC. A VPN connection can help provide a more secure connection and access to your company’s network and the internet, for example, when you’re working from a coffee shop or similar public place.

Create a VPN profile

Before you can connect to a VPN, you must have a VPN profile on your PC. You can either create a VPN profile on your own or set up a work account to get a VPN profile from your company.

Before you start:

If it’s for work, look for VPN settings or a VPN app on your company’s intranet site while you’re at work, or contact your company’s support person.

If it’s for a VPN service you subscribe to for personal use, visit the Microsoft Store to see if there’s an app for that service, then go to the VPN service’s website to see if the VPN connection settings to use are listed there.

Select the Start button, then select Settings > Network & Internet > VPN > Add a VPN connection.

In Add a VPN connection, do the following:

For VPN provider, choose Windows (built-in).

In the Connection name box, enter a name you’ll recognize (for example, My Personal VPN). This is the VPN connection name you’ll look for when connecting.

In the Server name or address box, enter the address for the VPN server.

For VPN type, choose the type of VPN connection you want to create. You’ll need to know which kind of VPN connection your company or VPN service uses.

For Type of sign-in info, choose the type of sign-in info (or credentials) to use. This might be a username and password, one-time password, certificate, or a smart card if you’re connecting to a VPN for work. Enter your username and password in the respective boxes (if required).

If you need to edit the VPN connection info or specify additional settings, such as proxy settings, choose the VPN connection and then select Advanced options.

Connect to a VPN

When you have a VPN profile, you’re ready to connect.

On the far right of the taskbar, select the Network icon (either or ).

Select the VPN connection you want to use, then do either of the following depending on what happens when you select the VPN connection:

If the Connect button displays under the VPN connection, select Connect.

If the VPN section in Settings opens, select the VPN connection there, then select Connect.

If you’re prompted, enter your username and password or other sign-in info.

When connected, the VPN connection name will display Connected underneath it. To see if you’re connected to the VPN while you’re doing things on your PC, select the Network icon (either or ) on the far right of the taskbar, then see if the VPN connection says Connected.

Подключение к сети VPN в Windows 10

Вы можете подключаться к виртуальной частной сети (VPN) на компьютере с Windows 10 как для работы, так и в личных целях. VPN-подключение может обеспечить более безопасное соединение и доступ к корпоративной сети и Интернету, например, если вы работаете из кафе или похожего общественного места.

On windows 10, how do I setup a VPN client so that all users can use it (i.e. available before login)

On Windows XP, 7, 8, 8.1 you could tick a box that says ‘Allow other users to use this VPN’ when you initially connected the VPN.

This option is no longer available — how do I set the VPN to be available for connection on the Login screen?

2 Answers 2

Old question but for anyone trying to find an answer there is a better solution via elevated powershell:

CrayFishUK, my experience for all Windows XP/Vista/7/2008/8/2012/10 This will connect VPN as a SYSTEM user when system starts.

1. You will need to create a VPN connection
2. Save or not save credential it is not important.
3. Find a rasphone.pbk in %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk_hiddenPbk
4. More nice if you will copy it to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk\rasphone.pbk or attach to exist rasphone.pbk (it is text files)
5. Now you need to create scheduler task.

Scheduler task:

• Start after boot
• Program to start has credential to connect VPN

• You will need change the creator user to the SYSTEM user

I have add at the end:

for exampe, how to auto add route when sucsesful connect VPN

If you will need to reconnect VPN when it fails ask a new question and I will help.

By default VPN send all traffic through VPN, if you want to use routes You will need to turn off this future.

Step 6. Configure Windows 10 client Always On VPN connections

Applies to: Windows Server (Semi-Annual Channel), Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows 10

In this step, you’ll learn about the ProfileXML options and schema, and configure the Windows 10 client computers to communicate with that infrastructure with a VPN connection.

You can configure the Always On VPN client through PowerShell, Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager, or Intune. All three require an XML VPN profile to configure the appropriate VPN settings. Automating PowerShell enrollment for organizations without Configuration Manager or Intune is possible.

Group Policy does not include administrative templates to configure the WindowsВ 10 Remote Access Always On VPN client. However, you can use logon scripts.

ProfileXML overview

ProfileXML is a URI node within the VPNv2 CSP. Rather than configuring each VPNv2 CSP node individually—such as triggers, route lists, and authentication protocols—use this node to configure a Windows 10 VPN client by delivering all the settings as a single XML block to a single CSP node. The ProfileXML schema matches the schema of the VPNv2 CSP nodes almost identically, but some terms are slightly different.

You use ProfileXML in all the delivery methods this deployment describes, including Windows PowerShell, Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager, and Intune. There are two ways to configure the ProfileXML VPNv2 CSP node in this deployment:

OMA-DM. One way is to use an MDM provider using OMA-DM, as discussed earlier in the section VPNv2 CSP nodes. Using this method, you can easily insert the VPN profile configuration XML markup into the ProfileXML CSP node when using Intune.

Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI)-to-CSP bridge. The second method of configuring the ProfileXML CSP node is to use the WMI-to-CSP bridge—a WMI class called MDM_VPNv2_01—that can access the VPNv2 CSP and the ProfileXML node. When you create a new instance of that WMI class, WMI uses the CSP to create the VPN profile when using Windows PowerShell and Configuration Manager.

Even though these configuration methods differ, both require a properly formatted XML VPN profile. To use the ProfileXML VPNv2 CSP setting, you construct XML by using the ProfileXML schema to configure the tags necessary for the simple deployment scenario. For more information, see ProfileXML XSD.

Below you find each of the required settings and its corresponding ProfileXML tag. You configure each setting in a specific tag within the ProfileXML schema, and not all of them are found under the native profile. For additional tag placement, see the ProfileXML schema.

Any other combination of upper or lower case for ‘true’ in the following tags results in a partial configuration of the VPN profile:

Connection type: Native IKEv2

Routing: Split tunneling

Name resolution: Domain Name Information List and DNS suffix

Triggering: Always On and Trusted Network Detection

Authentication: PEAP-TLS with TPM-protected user certificates

You can use simple tags to configure some VPN authentication mechanisms. However, EAP and PEAP are more involved. The easiest way to create the XML markup is to configure a VPN client with its EAP settings, and then export that configuration to XML.

For more information about EAP settings, see EAP configuration.

Manually create a template connection profile

In this step, you use Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP) to secure communication between the client and the server. Unlike a simple user name and password, this connection requires a unique EAPConfiguration section in the VPN profile to work.

Instead of describing how to create the XML markup from scratch, you use Settings in Windows to create a template VPN profile. After creating the template VPN profile, you use Windows PowerShell to consume the EAPConfiguration portion from that template to create the final ProfileXML that you deploy later in the deployment.

Record NPS certificate settings

Before creating the template, take note the hostname or fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the NPS server from the server’s certificate and the name of the CA that issued the certificate.

Procedure:

On your NPS server, open Network Policy Server.

In the NPS console, under Policies, click Network Policies.

Right-click Virtual Private Network (VPN) Connections, and click Properties.

Click the Constraints tab, and click Authentication Methods.

In EAP Types, click Microsoft: Protected EAP (PEAP), and click Edit.

Record the values for Certificate issued to and Issuer.

You use these values in the upcoming VPN template configuration. For example, if the server’s FQDN is nps01.corp.contoso.com and the hostname is NPS01, the certificate name is based upon the FQDN or DNS name of the server—for example, nps01.corp.contoso.com.

Cancel the Edit Protected EAP Properties dialog box.

Cancel the Virtual Private Network (VPN) Connections Properties dialog box.

Close Network Policy Server.

If you have multiple NPS servers, complete these steps on each one so that the VPN profile can verify each of them should they be used.

Configure the template VPN profile on a domain-joined client computer

Now that you have the necessary information configure the template VPN profile on a domain-joined client computer. The type of user account you use (that is, standard user or administrator) for this part of the process does not matter.

However, if you haven’t restarted the computer since configuring certificate autoenrollment, do so before configuring the template VPN connection to ensure you have a usable certificate enrolled on it.

There is no way to manually add any advanced properties of VPN, such as NRPT rules, Always On, Trusted network detection, etc. In the next step, you create a test VPN connection to verify the configuration of the VPN server and that you can establish a VPN connection to the server.

Manually create a single test VPN connection

Sign in to a domain-joined client computer as a member of the VPN Users group.

On the Start menu, type VPN, and press Enter.

In the details pane, click Add a VPN connection.

In the VPN Provider list, click Windows (built-in).

In Connection Name, type Template.

In Server name or address, type the external FQDN of your VPN server (for example,В vpn.contoso.com).

Click Save.

Under Related Settings, click Change adapter options.

Right-click Template, and click Properties.

On the Security tab, in Type of VPN, click IKEv2.

In Data encryption, click Maximum strength encryption.

Click Use Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP); then, in Use Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), click Microsoft: Protected EAP (PEAP) (encryption enabled).

Click Properties to open the Protected EAP Properties dialog box, and complete the following steps:

a. In the Connect to these servers box, type the name of the NPS server that you retrieved from the NPS server authentication settings earlier in this section (for example, NPS01).

The server name you type must match the name in the certificate. You recovered this name earlier in this section. If the name does not match, the connection will fail, stating that «The connection was prevented because of a policy configured on your RAS/VPN server.»

b. Under Trusted Root Certification Authorities, select the root CA that issued the NPS server’s certificate (for example, contoso-CA).

c. In Notifications before connecting, click Don’t ask user to authorize new servers or trusted CAs.

d. In Select Authentication Method, click Smart Card or other certificate, and click Configure. The Smart Card or other Certificate Properties dialog opens.

e. Click Use a certificate on this computer.

f. In the Connect to these servers box, enter the name of the NPS server you retrieved from the NPS server authentication settings in the previous steps.

g. Under Trusted Root Certification Authorities, select the root CA that issued the NPS server’s certificate.

h. Select the Don’t prompt user to authorize new servers or trusted certification authorities check box.

i. Click OK to close the Smart Card or other Certificate Properties dialog box.

j. Click OK to close the Protected EAP Properties dialog box.

Click OK to close the Template Properties dialog box.

Close the Network Connections window.

In Settings, test the VPN by clicking Template, and clicking Connect.

Make sure that the template VPN connection to your VPN server is successful. Doing so ensures that the EAP settings are correct before you use them in the next example. You must connect at least once before continuing; otherwise, the profile will not contain all the information necessary to connect to the VPN.

Create the ProfileXML configuration files

Before completing this section, make sure you have created and tested the template VPN connection that the section Manually create a template connection profile describes. Testing the VPN connection is necessary to ensure that the profile contains all the information required to connect to the VPN.

The Windows PowerShell script in Listing 1 creates two files on the desktop, both of which contain EAPConfiguration tags based on the template connection profile you created previously:

VPN_Profile.xml. This file contains the XML markup required to configure the ProfileXML node in the VPNv2 CSP. Use this file with OMA-DM–compatible MDM services, such as Intune.

VPN_Profile.ps1. This file is a Windows PowerShell script that you can run on client computers to configure the ProfileXML node in the VPNv2 CSP. You can also configure the CSP by deploying this script through Configuration Manager. You cannot run this script in a Remote Desktop session, including a Hyper-V enhanced session.

The example commands below require Windows 10 Build 1607 or later.

Create VPN_Profile.xml and VPN_Proflie.ps1

Sign in to the domain-joined client computer containing the template VPN profile with the same user account that the section Manually create a template connection profile described.

Paste Listing 1 into Windows PowerShell integrated scripting environment (ISE), and customize the parameters described in the comments. These are $Template, $ProfileName, $Servers, $DnsSuffix, $DomainName, $TrustedNetwork, and $DNSServers. A full description of each setting is in the comments.

Run the script to generate VPN_Profile.xml and VPN_Profile.ps1 on the desktop.

Listing 1. Understanding MakeProfile.ps1

This section explains the example code that you can use to gain an understanding of how to create a VPN Profile, specifically for configuring ProfileXML in the VPNv2 CSP.

After you assemble a script from this example code and run the script, the script generates two files: VPN_Profile.xml and VPN_Profile.ps1. Use VPN_Profile.xml to configure ProfileXML in OMA-DM compliant MDM services, such as Microsoft Intune.

Use the VPN_Profile.ps1 script in Windows PowerShell or Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager to configure ProfileXML on the Windows 10 desktop.

To view the full example script, see the section MakeProfile.ps1 Full Script.

Parameters

Configure the following parameters:

$Template. The name of the template from which to retrieve the EAP configuration.

$ProfileName. Unique alphanumeric identifier for the profile. The profile name must not include a forward slash (/). If the profile name has a space or other non-alphanumeric character, it must be properly escaped according to the URL encoding standard.

$Servers. Public or routable IP address or DNS name for the VPN gateway. It can point to the external IP of a gateway or a virtual IP for a server farm. Examples, 208.147.66.130 or vpn.contoso.com.

$DnsSuffix. Specifies one or more commas separated DNS suffixes. The first in the list is also used as the primary connection-specific DNS suffix for the VPN Interface. The entire list will also be added into the SuffixSearchList.

$DomainName. Used to indicate the namespace to which the policy applies. When a Name query is issued, the DNS client compares the name in the query to all of the namespaces under DomainNameInformationList to find a match. This parameter can be one of the following types:

• FQDN — Fully qualified domain name
• Suffix — A domain suffix that will be appended to the shortname query for DNS resolution. To specify a suffix, prepend a period (.) to the DNS suffix.

$DNSServers. List of comma-separated DNS Server IP addresses to use for the namespace.

$TrustedNetwork. Comma-separated string to identify the trusted network. VPN does not connect automatically when the user is on their corporate wireless network where protected resources are directly accessible to the device.

The following are example values for parameters used in the commands below. Ensure that you change these values for your environment.

Prepare and create the profile XML

The following example commands get EAP settings from the template profile:

Create the profile XML

Any other combination of upper or lower case for ‘true’ in the following tags results in a partial configuration of the VPN profile:

Output VPN_Profile.xml for Intune

You can use the following example command to save the profile XML file:

Output VPN_Profile.ps1 for the desktop and Configuration Manager

The following example code configures an AlwaysOn IKEv2 VPN Connection by using the ProfileXML node in the VPNv2 CSP.

You can use this script on the Windows 10 desktop or in Configuration Manager.

Define key VPN profile parameters

Escape special characters in the profile

Define WMI-to-CSP Bridge properties

Determine user SID for VPN profile:

Define WMI session:

Detect and delete previous VPN profile:

Create the VPN profile:

Save the profile XML file

MakeProfile.ps1 Full Script

Most examples use the Set-WmiInstance Windows PowerShell cmdlet to insert ProfileXML into a new instance of the MDM_VPNv2_01 WMI class.

However, this does not work in Configuration Manager because you cannot run the package in the end users’ context. Therefore, this script uses the Common Information Model to create a WMI session in the user’s context, and then it creates a new instance of the MDM_VPNv2_01 WMI class in that session. This WMI class uses the WMI-to-CSP bridge to configure the VPNv2 CSP. Therefore, by adding the class instance, you configure the CSP.

WMI-to-CSP bridge requires local admin rights, by design. To deploy per user VPN profiles you should be using Configuration Manager or MDM.

The script VPN_Profile.ps1 uses the current user’s SID to identify the user’s context. Because no SID is available in a Remote Desktop session, the script does not work in a Remote Desktop session. Likewise, it does not work in a Hyper-V enhanced session. If you’re testing a Remote Access Always On VPN in virtual machines, disable enhanced session on your client VMs before running this script.

The following example script includes all of the code examples from previous sections. Ensure that you change example values to values that are appropriate for your environment.

Configure the VPN client by using Windows PowerShell

To configure the VPNv2 CSP on a Windows 10 client computer, run the VPN_Profile.ps1 Windows PowerShell script that you created in the Create the profile XML section. Open Windows PowerShell as an Administrator; otherwise, you’ll receive an error saying, Access denied.

After running VPN_Profile.ps1 to configure the VPN profile, you can verify at any time that it was successful by running the following command in the Windows PowerShell ISE:

Successful results from the Get-WmiObject cmdlet

The ProfileXML configuration must be correct in structure, spelling, configuration, and sometimes letter case. If you see something different in structure to Listing 1, the ProfileXML markup likely contains an error.

If you need to troubleshoot the markup, it is easier to put it in an XML editor than to troubleshoot it in the Windows PowerShell ISE. In either case, start with the simplest version of the profile, and add components back one at a time until the issue occurs again.

Configure the VPN client by using Configuration Manager

In Configuration Manager, you can deploy VPN profiles by using the ProfileXML CSP node, just like you did in Windows PowerShell. Here, you use the VPN_Profile.ps1 Windows PowerShell script that you created in the section Create the ProfileXML configuration files.

To use Configuration Manager to deploy a Remote Access Always On VPN profile to Windows 10 client computers, you must start by creating a group of machines or users to whom you deploy the profile. In this scenario, create a user group to deploy the configuration script.

Create a user group

In the Configuration Manager console, open Assets and Compliance\User Collections.

On the Home ribbon, in the Create group, click Create User Collection.

On the General page, complete the following steps:

a. In Name, type VPN Users.

b. Click Browse, click All Users and click OK.

c. Click Next.

On the Membership Rules page, complete the following steps:

a. In Membership rules, click Add Rule, and click Direct Rule. In this example, you’re adding individual users to the user collection. However, you might use a query rule to add users to this collection dynamically for a larger-scale deployment.

b. On the Welcome page, click Next.

c. On the Search for Resources page, in Value, type the name of the user you want to add. The resource name includes the user’s domain. To include results based on a partial match, insert the % character at either end of your search criterion. For example, to find all users containing the string «lori,» type %lori%. Click Next.

d. On the Select Resources page, select the users you want to add to the group, and click Next.

e. On the Summary page, click Next.

f. On the Completion page, click Close.

Back on the Membership Rules page of the Create User Collection Wizard, click Next.

On the Summary page, click Next.

On the Completion page, click Close.

After you create the user group to receive the VPN profile, you can create a package and program to deploy the Windows PowerShell configuration script that you created in the section Create the ProfileXML configuration files.

Create a package containing the ProfileXML configuration script

Host the script VPN_Profile.ps1 on a network share that the site server computer account can access.

In the Configuration Manager console, open Software Library\Application Management\Packages.

On the Home ribbon, in the Create group, click Create Package to start the Create Package and Program Wizard.

On the Completion page, click Close.

With the ProfileXML configuration script deployed, sign in to a Windows 10 client computer with the user account you selected when you built the user collection. Verify the configuration of the VPN client.

The script VPN_Profile.ps1 does not work in a Remote Desktop session. Likewise, it does not work in a Hyper-V enhanced session. If you’re testing a Remote Access Always On VPN in virtual machines, disable enhanced session on your client VMs before continuing.

Verify the configuration of the VPN client

In Control Panel, under System\Security, click Configuration Manager.

In the Configuration Manager Properties dialog, on the Actions tab, complete the following steps:

a. Click Machine Policy Retrieval & Evaluation Cycle, click Run Now, and click OK.

b. Click User Policy Retrieval & Evaluation Cycle, click Run Now, and click OK.

c. Click OK.

Close the Control Panel.

You should see the new VPN profile shortly.

Configure the VPN client by using Intune

To use Intune to deploy Windows 10 Remote Access Always On VPN profiles, you can configure the ProfileXML CSP node by using the VPN profile you created in the section Create the ProfileXML configuration files, or you can use the base EAP XML sample provided below.

Intune now uses Azure AD groups. If Azure AD Connect synced the VPN Users group from on-premises to Azure AD, and users are assigned to the VPN Users group, you are ready to proceed.

Create the VPN device configuration policy to configure the Windows 10 client computers for all users added to the group. Since the Intune template provides VPN parameters, only copy the portion of the VPN_ProfileXML file.

Create the Always On VPN configuration policy

Go to Intune > Device Configuration > Profiles.

Click Create Profile to start the Create profile Wizard.

Enter a Name for the VPN profile and (optionally) a description.

Under Platform, select Windows 10 or later, and choose VPN from the Profile type drop-down.

If you are creating a custom VPN profileXML, see Apply ProfileXML using Intune for the instructions.

Under the Base VPN tab, verify or set the following settings:

Connection name: Enter the name of the VPN connection as it appears on the client computer in the VPN tab under Settings, for example, Contoso AutoVPN.

Servers: Add one or more VPN servers by clicking Add.

Description and IP Address or FQDN: Enter the description and IP Address or FQDN of the VPN server. These values must align with the Subject Name in the VPN server’s authentication certificate.

Default server: If this is the default VPN server, set to True. Doing this enables this server as the default server that devices use to establish the connection.

Connection type: Set to IKEv2.

Always On: Set to Enable to connect to the VPN automatically at the sign-in and stay connected until the user manually disconnects.

Remember credentials at each logon: Boolean value (true or false) for caching credentials. If set to true, credentials are cached whenever possible.

Copy the following XML string to a text editor:

Any other combination of upper or lower case for ‘true’ in the following tags results in a partial configuration of the VPN profile:

Replace the 5a 89 fe cb 5b 49 a7 0b 1a 52 63 b7 35 ee d7 1c c2 68 be 4b in the sample with the certificate thumbprint of your on-premises root certificate authority in both places.

Do not use the sample thumbprint in the section below. The TrustedRootCA must be the certificate thumbprint of the on-premises root certificate authority that issued the server-authentication certificate for RRAS and NPS servers. This must not be the cloud root certificate, nor the intermediate issuing CA certificate thumbprint.

Replace the NPS.contoso.com in the sample XML with the FQDN of the domain-joined NPS where authentication takes place.

Copy the revised XML string and paste into the EAP Xml box under the Base VPN tab and click OK. An Always On VPN Device Configuration policy using EAP is created in Intune.

Sync the Always On VPN configuration policy with Intune

To test the configuration policy, sign in to a WindowsВ 10 client computer as the user you added to the Always On VPN Users group, and then sync with Intune.

On the Start menu, click Settings.

In Settings, click Accounts, and click Access work or school.

Click the MDM profile, and click Info.

Click Sync to force an Intune policy evaluation and retrieval.

Close Settings. After synchronization, you see the VPN profile available on the computer.
