How to manually configure a VPN on Windows 11 and Windows 10

Windows-11 VPN setup.

On Windows 11, the best VPN (Virtual Private Network) services usually offer a dedicated app that makes it easy to connect to their secure servers. But if the app isn’t working properly (or you simply prefer not to install additional software), you can still set up the VPN manually.

Regardless of the reason, Windows 11 includes built-in tools that let you configure and manage VPN connections directly through the Settings app. This allows you to connect to almost any VPN service, helping you enhance your online privacy, secure your connection on public networks, and even bypass regional restrictions to access content from other locations.
