🔑 A VPN (Virtual Private Network) adds security and privacy by encrypting your internet connection. Using a VPN can help protect your data on public networks, access region-restricted content, and maintain online privacy. Here’s how to set up a VPN in Windows 11:

Steps to Set Up a VPN in Windows 11 on Laptop or Desktop PC:
Open Settings

Click the Start button and select Settings, or press Windows + I to open the Settings menu.
Navigate to Network & Internet

In the Settings menu, go to Network & Internet on the left sidebar.
Scroll down and select VPN.
Add a VPN Connection

Under VPN, click on Add VPN.
Configure the VPN

In the Add a VPN connection window, fill in the required details:
VPN Provider: Select Windows (built-in).
Connection Name: Choose a name for the connection (e.g., "Work VPN" or "Personal VPN").
Server Name or Address: Enter the VPN server address provided by your VPN service provider.
VPN Type: Choose the type of VPN your provider uses (e.g., Automatic, PPTP, L2TP/IPsec, SSTP, IKEv2). Automatic is usually the best choice unless specified.
Type of Sign-in Info: Choose how you’ll sign in (e.g., Username and Password, Smart Card, One-Time Password).
Username and Password: Enter your VPN username and password, if applicable.
Save the VPN Connection

After filling in the information, click Save to add the VPN connection.
Connect to the VPN

Once saved, the VPN will appear under the VPN settings.
Click on the VPN name and select Connect.
Enter any additional credentials if required. When connected, a Connected status will appear.
Disconnect from the VPN

To disconnect, go back to Settings → Network & Internet → VPN, select the VPN, and click Disconnect.
Tips:
Check Your VPN Provider: Many VPN services offer specific apps for Windows 11, which can simplify connection setup and give you additional features like kill switches and automatic reconnections.
VPN for Privacy: Always connect to trusted VPN servers to ensure data privacy.
Use Public and Private Networks Carefully: VPNs are especially useful on public networks, where they encrypt your traffic and prevent eavesdropping.
