Connecting to Control Networks' VPN

To further secure your access to Control Networks' Cloud services, you can employ the use of our encrypted VPN (Virtual Private Network) solution. If you don't yet have a username and password for the VPN, please contact Control Networks sales via http://www.controlnetworks.com.au/contact

Setting up the VPN connection

To begin, please click the network icon near your system's clock. It will look like either wire.jpg for a wired network, or wifi.jpg for a wireless connection. Once your network list has opened, click Open Network and Sharing Centre, followed by Setup a New Connection or Network

When presented with the connection details, enter the address vpn.neural.net.au. You can optionally change the connection's name and if required, just create the connection, without connecting to it. Once you click next, you will be prompted to enter the username and password for the connection. This will have been provided to you in the service provisioning confirmation. If you don't have these details, please contact ITHelpDesk.
