How can I use windows VPN? Is there any way that can I use to get this thing work?

You need a VPN first. Windows doesn’t have one, what you are seeing is simply a menu to add VPNs made by other companies.

  • Any error messages you have encountered - Those long error codes are not gibberish to us!
  • Any screenshots or logs of the issue - You can upload screenshots other useful information in your post or comment, and use Pastebin for text (such as logs). You can learn how to take screenshots here.

What exactly are you trying to achieve?

What you’re looking at is a corporate virtual networking facility, not one of those public services on the Internet that cover up your IP adddress.

People who use the VPN setting page work in a company that has a Windows Server 2022 computer with a VPN service configured.

This setting isn’t about an integrated windows VPN client, it’s a place to configure third-party VPNs

Yeah… That’s right :innocent:

Nothing… I was just checking the option that I was never touched since I’m using widows from 6 years :sweat_smile:

Incorrect.

There is a Windows built-in VPN provider too. Here is a screenshot.

A VPN client needs a server to function. It is like using a web client (browser eg chrome, edge, or Firefox) and having no server (Google.com, Microsoft.com, Firefox.org) to connect to, and asking if it will work.

That is not a built-in VPN client, which is what OP wants. You still need to subscribe to a third-party VPN service or connect to your own VPN server to actually make use of it. Hence the need to write a server name/address.
