<title>এটা VPN ৰ সৈতে সংযোগ কৰক</title>
<p>A VPN (or <em>Virtual Private Network</em>) 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 <em>encrypted</em>
to prevent people from accessing the local network you’re connecting to
without logging in.</p>
<p>There are a number of different types of VPN. You may have to install some
extra software depending on what type of VPN you’re connecting to. Find out
the connection details from whoever is in charge of the VPN and see which
<em>VPN client</em> you need to use. Then, go to the software installer
application and search for the <app>NetworkManager</app> package which works
with your VPN (if there is one) and install it.</p>
<note>
<p>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.</p>
</note>
<p>To set up the VPN connection:</p>
<steps>
<item>
<p>Open the <gui xref="shell-introduction#activities">Activities</gui> overview and
start typing <gui>Network</gui>.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Click on <gui>Network</gui> to open the panel.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>At the bottom of the list on the left, click the <gui>+</gui> button
to add a new connection.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Choose <gui>VPN</gui> in the interface list.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Choose which kind of VPN connection you have.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Fill in the VPN connection details, then press <gui>Add</gui> once you
are finished.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>When you have finished setting up the VPN, open the
<gui xref="shell-introduction#systemmenu">system menu</gui> from the right side of
the top bar, click <gui>VPN off</gui> and select <gui>Connect</gui>. 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.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>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 <gui>Network</gui> panel that you used to create the connection.
Select the VPN connection from the list, then press the
<media its:translate="no" type="image" src="figures/emblem-system-symbolic.svg"><span its:translate="yes">settings</span></media> button to review the settings.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>To disconnect from the VPN, click the system menu on the top bar and
click <gui>Turn Off</gui> under the name of your VPN connection.</p>
