<title>Connettersi a una VPN</title>

<p>Una VPN (o <em>Virtual Private Network</em>) è un metodo di connessione a una rete locale attraverso Internet. Per esempio, è possibile connettersi alla rete locale del proprio posto di lavoro mentre si è in trasferta, utilizzando la connessione Internet dell'albergo per collegarsi alla VPN dell'azienda. Funziona come se si fosse direttamente connessi alla rete del posto di lavoro, ma l'effettiva connessione di rete avviene attraverso la connessione Internet in uso. Le connessioni VPN sono di solito <em>cifrate</em> per impedire l'accesso alla rete locale senza fornire le proprie credenziali.</p>

<p>There are a number of different types of VPN. You may have to install some
 extra software depending on what type of VPN you're connecting to. Find out
 the connection details from whoever is in charge of the VPN and see which
 <em>VPN client</em> you need to use. Then, go to the software installer
 application and search for the <app>NetworkManager</app> package which works
 with your VPN (if there is one) and install it.</p>

<note>
 <p>Se non esiste un pacchetto per il proprio tipo di VPN, probabilmente sarà necessario scaricare e installare il client dall'azienda che fornisce il software VPN. Potrebbe essere necessario seguire diverse istruzioni per poterlo far funzionare.</p>
</note>

<p>To set up the VPN connection:</p>

  <steps>
    <item>
      <p>Open the <gui xref="shell-introduction#activities">Activities</gui> overview and
      start typing <gui>Network</gui>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Click on <gui>Network</gui> to open the panel.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>At the bottom of the list on the left, click the <gui>+</gui> button
      to add a new connection.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Choose <gui>VPN</gui> in the interface list.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Choose which kind of VPN connection you have.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Fill in the VPN connection details, then press <gui>Add</gui> once you
      are finished.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>When you have finished setting-up the VPN, open the
      <gui xref="shell-introduction#yourname">system menu</gui> from the right side of
      the top bar, click <gui>VPN off</gui> and select <gui>Connect</gui>. You
      may need to enter a password for the connection before it is established.
      Once the connection is made, you will see a lock shaped icon in the top
      bar.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Hopefully you will successfully connect to the VPN. If not, you may
      need to double-check the VPN settings you entered. You can do this from
      the <gui>Network</gui> panel that you used to create the connection.
      Select the VPN connection from the list, then press the
<media its:translate="no" type="image" src="figures/emblem-system.png"><span its:translate="yes">settings</span></media> button to review the settings.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>To disconnect from the VPN, click the system menu on the top bar and
      click <gui>Turn Off</gui> under the name of your VPN connection.</p>
    </item>
  </steps>
