# Conectar a unha VPN

A VPN (or Virtual Private Network) is a way of connecting to a local network over the internet. For example, say you want to connect to the local network at your workplace while you’re on a business trip. You would find an internet connection somewhere (like at a hotel) and then connect to your workplace’s VPN. It would be as if you were directly connected to the network at work, but the actual network connection would be through the hotel’s internet connection. VPN connections are usually encrypted to prevent people from accessing the local network you’re connecting to without logging in.

Hai varios tipos de VPN. Dependendo do tipo á que queira conectarse podería ter que instalar software adicional. Busque información da conexión do responsábel da VPN e vexa que cliente de VPN precisa. Logo, vaia á aplicación de instalación de software e busque polo paquete NetworkManager que funcione co seu VPN (se hai algún) e instáleo.

If there isn’t a NetworkManager package for your type of VPN, you will probably have to download and install some client software from the company that provides the VPN software. You’ll probably have to follow some different instructions to get that working.

Para configurar unha conexión VPN:

Abra a vista de Actividades e comece a escribir Rede.

Prema en Rede para abrir o panel.

Na parte inferior da lista á esquerda, prema o botón + para engadir unha nova conta.

Seleccione VPNdesde a lista da interface.

Seleccione o tipo de conexión VPN que ten.

Complete a información de conexión á VPN, e logo prema Engadir en canto remate.

When you have finished setting up the VPN, open the system menu from the right side of the top bar, click VPN off and select Connect. You may need to enter a password for the connection before it is established. Once the connection is made, you will see a lock shaped icon in the top bar.

Hopefully you will successfully connect to the VPN. If not, you may need to double-check the VPN settings you entered. You can do this from the Network panel that you used to create the connection. Select the VPN connection from the list, then press the settings button to review the settings.

Para desconectarse da VPN, prema a icona de rede na barra superior e prema Desconectar baixo o nome da súa conexión VPN.
