Windows 10: Windows 10 built-in vpn

In windows 10, there is an option to set up a built-in vpn. I click on it and it asks for "server name or address." I have no idea what this means. Please don't tell me to contact my mail provider or some other techie nonsense. I'm just a guy who knows nothing about computers. This shouldn't be difficult. Why is it???

Windows 10 (built-in) VPN ect

Hi John,

You can create or set up a VPN from your computer's Control Panel or from the
Settings. Before you start creating one, you need to have the following:

• VPN server name or address
• VPN protocol
• Username and password to connect to the VPN server

To set up the VPN connection on your Windows 10, kindly follow the steps below:

• Click on the Start button and in the Start menu, click on Settings.
• Click Network and Internet.
• Select on VPN in the left pane to see the related settings.
• Click on the ‘+’ icon that says Add a VPN connection.
• Now provide the information needed in creating a VPN.
  
  a. VPN Provider, choose Windows Default
  
  b.Connection name
  
  c. Server name or address
  
  d.VPN type (use PPTP since it is most commonly used protocols for
  VPNs)
• Once done, click Save.

After you're done creating the VPN, you will see three options on the VPN window.
Connect(lets you connect to the VPN), Advanced Options(takes you to a windows where you can configure proxy) and
Remove(will let you remove the VPN connection).
