*Copykat demonstrates how to deploy a VPN Server and how to configure a VPN Connection on Client Side. <br /> <br />**Local Area Network (LAN)** <br /> <br />Steps: <br /> <br />**Server Side** <br />A. Create a User Account (or use your own) on the VPN Server for VPN Access. This user NEEDS A PASSWORD. <br />B. Create the Incomming Connection Interface on VPN Server. Choose the created User Account (or your own). <br />C. Specify the Range of IP Addresses that will be available for your client machine. **Only use available IP's on Server Side** <br />D. Create the corresponding Port Forwarding on your Router and Firewall... <br /> Protocol= TCP , Direction= Incomming, Port= 1723, Action= Allow <br /> Protocol= GRE, Action= Allow <br /> (Or disable the firewall as we did on the demonstration) <br /> <br />**Client Side** <br />A. Setup a new connection TO A WORKPLACE (VPN) and use your Internet Connection (VPN) <br />B. When prompted, Type your VPN Server's IP Address (or domain) and give a name to the connection. **Make sure "Dont connect now" is ticked*** <br />C. When prompted, Type the username and the password that we created on the Server Side (or your own). Copykat recommends to do so in the format... <br /> <br />VPNServerMachineName\UserAccountOnServerSide <br /> <br />D. Head to the "Adapter Settings", Select your VPN Connection and choose "Properties" <br />E. At "Security Tab", select the protocol PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol <br />F. At "Networking Tab", selct the TCP IPv4 Protocol and setup the DNS Servers pointing to the VPN Server IP Address. <br />G. Now, Test the VPN Connection and have Fun! <br /> <br />**Optional** <br />Test if you can share files between server and client through "SMB" (File sharing) <br />If you try the Ping Test, remember that firewall blocks pings by default, so make sure it is disabled or make a rule on it for ICMP Traffic! <br /> <br />Best Wishes!
