Connecting a device to a VPN is a common solution for securely accessing a network from a different location. This guide will explain the process of configuring an L2TP/IPsec VPN on Windows 11 using a Windows 11 computer as the client.

L2TP/IPsec is the preferred choice because it’s still directly supported by Windows 11 without the need for third-party applications. This protocol combines the tunneling functionality of L2TP with the security of IPsec, allowing data passing through the VPN connection to be encrypted and further protected during communication with the server.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a new VPN connection in Windows 11, adjust authentication and security settings, and connect to a VPN server using L2TP/IPsec.

  1. Make sure you have the information needed to connect to the VPN. In this tutorial, we’ll use
    the VPN server: vpn.testserver.net
    Username: user01
    Password: comet123
    IPSec preshared key: comet12345678
    Server in the remote area: 10.1.1.11
  2. Right click on the network icon in the taskbar > Network and Internet settings > VPN > Add VPN


  3. Complete the configuration fields as shown in the following image.



    Once complete, click Save and test the connection by clicking Connect on the newly created profile.


    If the configuration is correct, the status will change to Connected.

  4. Ping test to remote server 10.1.1.11
