Description

Master Windows Server 2025's built-in Remote Access Service (RRAS) to deploy, manage, and troubleshoot enterprise-grade VPNs - no third-party VPN appliance required.

This hands-on, project-based course teaches you how to configure Client-to-Site and Site-to-Site VPNs using RRAS, along with NAT routing, using tools already included in Windows Server. You'll build the same VPN and routing infrastructure that IT consultants deploy for real clients — step by step, from installation to production-ready configuration.

Whether you're an IT administrator, consultant, or network engineer, this course gives you the practical skills to design a reliable VPN infrastructure, harden it with security best practices, and optimize it for performance at scale.
