Configuring a VPN Tunnel through vb.Net

[Michael Maes]

Hello,

Is it possible to set up a VPN Tunnel (PPTP) by code (vb.Net) in a Windows Application?
The idea is to (under certain conditions) connect to a VPN without the user having to explicitly make that connection.

Invoking the connection through a shortcut isn't what I'm looking for (System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("connection.lnk" )).

Thanks for any suggestions,
Michael

I'm using vs.Net 2003 Ent. Arch.

Hi Michael,

Thank you for using MSDN Newsgroup! My name is Peter, and I will be
assisting you on this issue.

Based on my understanding, you wants to establish the PPTP connection by
programming. I think you may try to use the RasDial API.

Here is a sample for C#. I did not make a test, you may have a try.
