How to Add VPN in Windows 11: A Step-by-Step Guide

rahulkhorwal 

Wait a second... You instructed people to first "choose" a VPN in Windows 11 Settings via "the drop-down menu".

Gee... I own 4 Windows 11 PC's; 3 laptops, one desk top. And they all unfortunately run Windows 11 Home and Pro, versions 23H2 & one which still has 22H2.

You seem so sure of the directives you gave that I could not allow OTHER readers to let you confuse them as much as you confused me. I may not use another Windows device, even if being held at gunpoint, but this 'how-to' was definitely confusing to me, my family who all know better, therefore please know the facts...

I've NEVER, not even with the PRO version, seen anything like this mysterious "DROP-DOWN LIST", as you stated so certain of yourself... & I quote "Choose a VPN provider from the drop-down list. If you don't see your provider listed, select Windows (built-in)."

Listen up... we're not reading Q/A about a product which has any more than a possible 2 star rating in internet programs here.

This is all Windows, & ever since they gave W-7 the boot, WINDOWS EVERYTHING has always been a horrible experience, & also always only listed ONE (1) VPN PROVIDER which just happened to be  THE HATED 'BUILT-IN' ONE THAT YOU ALSO SLIPPED IN THERE. Haha!

And, sir? The majority of those who are reading directives in this orgy of ridiculous, non helpful "How-To's" would take one gander at how setting up a true, GOOD, and effective VPN is supposed to be configured and think back to YOUR WORDS about it being sooooo EASY. SIMPLISTIC WINDOWS 11!!

What a CROCK. Ya know?                                                                                                                                   Each time in the past when I'd log into this place in hope of receiving valid HELP ended up with whichever device I was working on either ending up as my newest door-stop, or I was so incredibly misinformed by whomever that a couple ended up being donated for parts because the actual system was never going to be correctable after choosing to follow what I was being told to do, which I did very carefully.

Each LOSS ended up being a minimum of 800 bucks, so please don't take YOUR IT/STEM expertise lesson & what my opinion of it to the rest of the world too personally.

There are literally hundreds right here who are just like you, but doing a much much WORSE job dolling out false hope than this silly little "how-to" reads.

HOPE FOR THE DAY--- "For Microsoft to learn what ACCOUNTABILITY TOWARDS OTHERS means a bit more realistically"

We can always hope, right?

I no longer flush good money down the toilet.                                                                                      Windows/Microsoft/Bing, regardless of what version, are all far in the past.

Mac Pro's are where it's at!

Ciao!

and have a happy holiday season
