How to configure VPN server in Windows Server?

VPN servers are installed on a Windows server.

Once installed, you can access your servers remotely. But how do you do this? How do you configure your servers to make it so that remote people can get to it?

In order to configure a VPN server you need to create a group with the necessary privileges to allow the management of VPN configurations. To do this, right-click on Active Directory Users and Computers and select Create a container for users and computers. If the dialog box opens, click OK to confirm that the Container will be created for users and computers, or No to cancel. Name the container VPN Users. The default container names vary by operating system.

Right-click on VPN Users and select Properties. The Access Permissions dialog box appears. Use the drop down menus to adjust the level of access to the container.

If you're going to be using it for other administrative tasks, I recommend making it a member of the Domain Admins group (if you're connecting using the domain controller itself), or one of the higher groups (ie Enterprise Administrators). The Access Permissions dialog box should look something like this: Click the OK button when the Access Permissions dialog box closes, and then click Ok again. It's now time to create the configuration for the VPN server itself. Right-click on the VPN Users container and select New Virtual Network.

In the New Virtual Network dialog box, use the following settings: Select Enable Automatic Private IP addressing. In the Virtual Network address range textbox, use a range that has no overlapping IP addresses. This means that your users cannot get different IP addresses, which will cause problems with other internal network resources such as DHCP.

Make sure that the Virtual Network name is unique in the domain, as this will define its DNS settings. When you're done, click OK.

How do I manually configure a VPN in Windows?

Is there a way to setup a VPN connection in Windows without using the built-in VPN client?

I know how to do this in Linux using the command line, but not sure about Windows. You can install and run the Network Connections applet, then right click on the VPN connection you want to create and select 'OpenVPN' from the dropdown menu. I found that the VPN connection options in the Network Connections applet are very limited, though. You can use the command line. Windows Vista and 7: %windir%system32openvpn.exe --config %WINDIR%System32openvpn.conf
Windows XP: %systemroot%system32openvpn.exe --config %SYSTEMROOT%System32openvpn.conf
The command will add a VPN connection to the list of network connections (select the "Local Area Network" option). You can check the file it creates and open it if you wish.

There is a Network Connections application available with Windows 7. When you right-click the "VPN" connection in the Network Connections applet, you will get the following screen (note that there are three "VPN" entries in the Network Connections applet, even though you have only one VPN connected): If you don't see the "VPN" entry, or the "Network Connections" entry, then the answer is yes - there's no way to create a "VPN" connection by hand in Windows 7.
