UniFi VPN Windows Client Settings

Created by Jonathan Joles, Modified on Mon, May 22, 2023 at 5:17 PM by Jonathan Joles

After you create the Windows VPN adapter, there are some additional settings that need to be completed for it to work.


Security Tab

  • Change settings to look like this image.
  • The "preshared key" is located in their UniFi VPN Server settings.


Networking Tab

  • You really only need IPv4 checked.
  • Uncheck "Use default gateway on remote network" in the IPv4 Advanced settings.
    • checked, then all internet traffic is routed over the VPN.
    • unchecked, then all internet traffic goes out the user's normal internet connection. Unchecked is normal and better performance but windows seems to default it to checked.
