    How does Microsoft view a VPN (Virtual Private Network)?


    I have a trial of a VPN and like the privacy this brings.
    However before the trial is taken to the purchase stage it's important to know how MS will view it.
    So far I keep having my a/c frozen as MS suspects something unusual.

    Is there a way around this?

    :)

    VPN (Virtual Private Networking)

    Hi Julio,

    A virtual private network extends a private network across a public network or internet. It enables users to send and receive data across shared or public networks as if their computing devices were directly connected to the private network.

    Always On

    Always On is a new feature in Windows 10 which enables the active VPN profile to connect automatically on the following triggers:

    • User sign-on
    • Network change
    When a device has multiple profiles with Always On triggers, the user can specify the active profile in
    Settings > Network & Internet > VPN >
    VPN profile > Let apps automatically use this VPN connection.

    You may also refer the link below for more information.

    VPN.

    For further queries I suggest you to post in
    TechNet forum.

    Thank you.

    How does Microsoft view a VPN (Virtual Private Network)?

    Routers and "VPN support" (hamachi)

    It does mean virtual private network, though it has nothing to do with wireless. VPN basically creates a virtual network over another network. To other software this network appears as a real network.
