How to set up a VPN Server on Windows Server 2012 

IT Administration summed up in 2 seconds @ 5:55

At 5:55 "Oh my God" I know that feel, bro

Isn't enabling optional encryption a bit unsafe?

Small comment here, if you want to setup a VPN which allows clients to also have internet access then you need to select the "Virtual private network (VPN) access and NAT" option - see video around ~2:31.

Hi, we have one server in my office, and its loaded windows server 2012, and we are using 4G router for innternet connection, could you please explain how to configure the server for remote access, thank you

Same thing i say when using IExplore ............ oh my god!

"Oh my god" ahahaha

Nice job. Setup a VPN in 10 minutes.

WOW! Excellent video Miguel. Simply put and very well explained.

i dont have the option active directory users, what to do now?

is it possible to not use a username and password that's already created in the server side or for EX: use the same user and pass from different computers because i want to provide a free VPN Service for my community clients and if it's possible to limit the duration of the connection time because i only want them to use it to connect to the TeamSpeak 3 server and bypass the ISP BLock rules ,thank you .

Thanks for such great tutorials. I am trying to configure Port Forwarding in my router(D-Link DWR-960 4G ROUTER) for my VPN but the port forwarding setting page has the following fields Local IP Address: Local Port Start: Local Port End Remote IP Address: Remote Port Start: Remote Port End: Could you please me with out.

Can this be done without Active Directory being installed? I have Server2012 r2, but I don't want to install/run active directory. I always get authentication errors like ... CoId={44527D5F-5B6A-40E0-8FA4-2EE9BB1BF139}: The user connected to port VPN3-49 has been disconnected because the authentication process did not complete within the required amount of time.

Error 720, I've followed and refollowed all your instructions but I don't know why it matters :S...

Hello, I got some questions maybe you can help me. I have a backend-server (rented dedicated server) and a rented VPS. They both are on completely different locations (even countries). I now want users to interact with my backend server through that VPS, and their IP adress should be sent aswell to the backend (so i guess VPN tunneling is best?) your help would be much appreciated.

Failed to apply IP Security on port VPN0-48 because of error: A certificate could not be found. Connections that use the L2TP protocol over IPSec require the installation of a machine certificate, also known as a computer certificate.. No calls will be accepted to this port. I have this error log when try to coonect to the server

Thank you for tNice tutorials. SwitcNice tutorialng to soft from setupcraft and MascNice tutorialne is incredibly daunting and I didn't know where to start. I will definitely be

i am using netgear 6220..when i am checking ,it showing 1723 port is closed ...how to enable ports . please reply

Hi, I'm using separate VMs for Domain Controller and VPN server and so I used your guide to setup my VPN server but I cam across a message box saying that before I can use the server for remote access, my Domain Controller needs to perform the task first. What does this mean??

@8:45 you should not select connect even if no encryption, you should select the bottom option Maximum. Had someone follow this and now I'm fixing it because they are failing PCI compliance. In other words it's not secure. You should also create a Private LAN port on the server for shares and RDP access.

Thanks this was great. Running Windows 2012 sErver and Windows 8 Clients One user complained that when he connects to VPN he can't browse internet through web browser. Any ideas? I asked if he has any weird proxy internet settings, nothing. And another question: Is this secure? How hackable is such a solution?

This one didn't quite work for me. I had to go into NPS & configure the policies there to match the encryption options you'll see under the properties of the VPN connection on a client machine (I was using Windows 7 Pro for a client). I did MS-CHAPv2 just to get my first one running but of course wouldn't recommend that for good security.

Can you help me or give some instruction how to set up VPN using google compute engine/vm instances win server 2012? I really need it badly. sorry mate...

connection was prevented because of a policy configured on your RAS vpn server

Can you tell me why it's no working on Windows Server 2012 (Virtual machine) on Azure? :( I can't connect to VPN net (to the server) - on the last thing... there is any diferecne? Maybe firewall or something?

Sir the last step you didn't perform, to connect server from client pc...., that's a little bite confusion.., thanks

Is this safe to use? "PPTP is (as of Oct 2012) considered cryptographically broken and its use is no longer recommended by Microsoft." en . wikipedia . org/wiki/Point-to-Point_Tunneling_Protocol

***** why don't you recommend using the DHCP server to allocate addresses to the VPN clients. Surely this is better, as you can see all your address allocations in one place, as a opposed to a separate pool in a separate place.

Good video. I have a question, in case I purchased a public IP from my ISP that I configure in my router, I will have to enter this public IP in my client computer when i will connect it to the VPN server ? As in the Port forwading option, I will put the local IP address of my server, it won't have any problem i will try the connection by using the public IP, isn't it ?

Give Ableton a try. IMO its more intuitive.

Hello! First of all, great tutorial, exactly what I needed. But one question: How to enable encryption ? I assume that you used none since you selected "optional encryption" in the options menu.

Mine is working with the domaine IP (192.168.X.X) but it does not with the WAN IP

Good video but leaves some very important steps out. Very frustrated

and just pay more attension. I envy you mate.

Very clear and straight to the point. Awesome thanks had been struggling for a few days before I ran into your video!
