How to view connection logs for RRAS on server 2019

Hello,

We have RRAS running primarily SSTP VPNs for ends users on Windows Server 2019.
IPSec/IKEv2 shared secret is enabled, and I am trying to find out if any connections have been made on anything other than SSTP.

Where can I find logs for RRAS to try and identify such clients?

Many thanks
James

    Hi @James Edmonds ,

    If you want to enable historical reporting for VPN connection. Configure accounting as picture below:

    Then you generate the report about VPN connection history:

    For more details about generating a usage report for remote clients using historical data, please refer to the following article:

    Hi ,

    Did you mean that you want to monitor connected remote clients for activity and VPN types? Please feel free to let me know if I have any misunderstanding.

    If yes, you can use the management console on the Remote Access server to monitor remote client activity and status.

    Protocol/Tunnel filed will show the transitioning technology that is used by the remote client. E.g.: PPTP, L2TP, SSTP, or IKEv2.

    As picture below:
