Do you want to connect to a VPN server on Windows 10? Do you want to
encrypt your connection and browse anonymously? As you know dear reader, a VPN
is primarily used to create a connection tunnel between your computer and
remote servers. This allows you to access blocked services in your country for
example (Netflix for example). Unlike a Proxy server, which only serves to
change the IP address without advanced encryption ...
the VPN allows you to
encrypt all connections of all applications used on your machine / device.
Windows 10 comes with full support for PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling
Protocol), which allows it to create a very secure tunnel, we will use PureVPN
in this tutorial but you can use any VPN. Anytime I recommend investing in a
premium VPN and avoid free VPNs because some use your private data for
commercial purposes. In this easy-to-follow tutorial you will see how to add a
VPN under Windows 10 without installing anything. Let's go !
