Hello, and welcome to Pluralsight.
This is Implementing Microsoft Always On VPN.
And in this module, we're going to cover some advanced configuration.
So, in the previous module,
we covered some installation techniques using Intune and PowerShell,
but bottom line was is when we implemented the
settings using either of those methods, we used kind of the basic settings.
We use the defaults to pretty much just get us connected,
authenticated,
authorized and so that we could route traffic and get to resources and so forth.
And that works by and large most of the time,
but there are some scenarios in which you may need to make some adjustment
to the configuration to accommodate different scenarios.
The most predominant and most common of those is name resolution.
And we're going to talk about how name resolution works in Windows Always On
VPN and and how DNS servers are assigned and so forth,
and we'll talk about when and how that breaks and then,
importantly,
how to resolve those issues and how to get name
resolution working correctly and as expected.
We'll talk a little bit about proxy server configuration.
Again, proxy servers are not super common today,
but they're still in in use in a lot of enterprise
organizations for a variety of reasons,
perhaps traffic inspection or translation and so forth,
and so you may be required as the administrator to support
proxy servers in your environment for your Always On VPN
clients when they're in the field,
and we'll certainly talk through that in detail.
And then finally, I want to talk a little bit about zero trust network access,
or ZTNA.
This is a popular term certainly from a marketing perspective.
It seems like every security and vendor in the world now has support for ZTNA,
or zero trust network access.
Zero trust network access is supported in Windows Always On VPN,
and there are a variety of ways in which to implement it.
There are a couple of techniques that we can use to enforce
limited or zero trust network access, or limited network access,
and we'll talk through those and what and how those are configured and
specifically how they work and how they function to enforce your zero trust network access policies in your organization.
