# Windows VPN technical guide

This guide will walk you through the decisions you will make for Windows 10 or Windows 11 clients in your enterprise VPN solution and how to configure your deployment. This guide references the [VPNv2 Configuration Service Provider (CSP)](/windows/client-management/mdm/vpnv2-csp) and provides mobile device management (MDM) configuration instructions using Microsoft Intune and the VPN Profile template for Windows 10 and Windows 11.

To create a Windows 10 VPN device configuration profile see: [Windows 10 and Windows Holographic device settings to add VPN connections using Intune](/mem/intune/configuration/vpn-settings-windows-10).

> [!NOTE]
> This guide does not explain server deployment.
