This optimization makes creating a VPN connection, and connecting to corporate networks, faster and easier. The VPN connection icon now appears in\u00a0<strong>View Available Networks<\/strong>, along with other network connections. Creating a VPN profile requires only the server information. Windows auto-discovers authentication methods and tunnels while connecting, making the VPN experience seamless.<\/p>\n<p>The following sections describe how to set up and edit VPN connections using Windows 8:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Creating a new VPN connection<\/li>\n<li>Connecting to a corporate network using an existing VPN Connection<\/li>\n<li>Editing connection properties<\/li>\n<li>Deleting a connection<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>\n<div><a title=\"Collapse\">Creating a new VPN connection<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>In Windows 8 you can use the Get Connected Wizard to create a VPN profile. To launch the wizard, type\u00a0<strong>vpn<\/strong>\u00a0in<strong>Settings<\/strong>, and then click\u00a0<strong>Set up a virtual private network (VPN) connection<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"785e0c1e-1a57-4df9-a791-6207dd2fe7e6\" title=\"Launch GCW\" src=\"http:\/\/i.technet.microsoft.com\/dynimg\/IC615607.gif\" alt=\"Launch GCW\" \/>Figure 1: Launch the Get Connected Wizard<\/p>\n<p>In the wizard, you will provide the internet address of the Remote Access VPN server to which you will connect, and a name for the new connection. You can use an IP address or the fully qualified domain name of the Remote Access server. If you have a computer running Windows 8 with VPN already configured, you can view the server settings by viewing the connection properties, as shown in Figure 8. The destination name is the text that will be used for the VPN connection name (profile name), as shown in Figure 2. Note that you can click\u00a0<strong>Remember Credentials<\/strong>\u00a0which saves your credentials on the first successful connection attempt. This creates a new Discovery Profile which the client can use to connect to VPN.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"d1b2ba23-ffad-487d-ad32-06e8856090d2\" title=\"Get Connected Wizard\" src=\"http:\/\/i.technet.microsoft.com\/dynimg\/IC615608.gif\" alt=\"Get Connected Wizard\" \/>Figure 2: Get Connected Wizard Screen 1<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><a title=\"Collapse\">Discovery Profile<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Figure 2 shows the only information needed to create a VPN profile.
