Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a technology allowing you to establish a secure network connection over an insecure public network. In Virtuozzo 3.5.1 SP1, you can make Virtual Environments operate as VPN clients connecting to VPN remote access servers.
By default, the VPN support inside a VE is disabled. However, you can use the --vpn option of the vzctl set command to enable a VE to take advantage of the VPN technology benefits.

Let us assume that you wish to turn on the VPN support inside VE 101. To this effect, you should execute the following commands on the Hardware Node:



To check that the VPN support is now turned on inside VE 101, run the following command:



The command output shows that VE 101 is currently operating in the host-routed mode and the VPN support is enabled inside the VE. From this moment on, you can start connecting VE 101 to private networks in the same way as you would do it on any other standalone computer (e.g. using the New Connection Wizard which can be launched by double-clicking the New Connection Wizard icon in the Network Connections applet).

At any time, you can disable the VPN support inside VE 101 by issuing the following command:



Note: This option supports Microsoft VPN client only. Any other VPN cliens are not supported.
