VPN on Logon Screen

Question

Hi

I am trying to create a VPN connection that is available on the Windows 10 Pro logon screen. I've done much Googling and tried the add-vpnconnection method in Powershell but whatever I try the connection is not avaialble on login. Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Gareth.

@Gareth Little Hi,

Thank you for posting in Q&A!

Please try the following method to see if it works:

In Network and Sharing Center -> Set Up a New Connection or Network -> Connect to a Workplace -> [Configure as Needed] ->
Check the last box with the shield next to it (Allow other people to use this connection).

Hope you have a nice day : )
Gloria

Hi Gloria,

Thanks for your reply. I have tried this method but the VPN does not appear on the login screen. I am connected to Azure AD if relevant.

Hi @Gareth Little ,

Could you lets us know what vpn are you trying to configure. Also what is the authentication mechanism.

Also, can you share the powershell command/script you used to deploy the profile

Hi @Aravinth Mathan

I am trying to create L2TP/IPSEC with pre-shared key

Authentication is username/password MS-CHAP v2

Command is

Add-VpnConnection -Name TEST -ServerAddress xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -AllUserConnection $true -SplitTunneling $true -AuthenticationMethod MSChapv2 -TunnelType L2tp -EncryptionLevel Required -PassThru

We use the following, from an elevated (admin) powershell prompt:

Add-VpnConnection -Name 'VPN Name' -ServerAddress 'vpn.server.address' -TunnelType 'L2TP' -L2TPPSK 'redacted' -Force -DnsSuffix 'if.you.care' -AllUserConnection
