So in this demonstration, I'm going to show you how to monitor Always On VPN.
So here we are on our VPN server,
and I'm going to open our trusty Routing and Remote
Access Management console. And once again,
you should be intimately familiar with this because we've
been using it throughout the course so far.
And we've been doing our configuration tasks here,
but you'll also notice that if I expand the server,
you'll see there is a note here called remote access clients,
and if I click on that, I can view current active VPN sessions.
Now if I double‑click on an individual connection,
you'll see that I get some detailed information here,
statistics about data transfer, any errors that might have occurred,
and importantly, the IP addresses assigned to this particular endpoint.
What you'll see here is what's displayed by default.
If you actually just right‑click anywhere in the open space here
and choose View and then Add/Remove Columns,
you'll see that there is some additional information that's available to us,
and we can also see what columns are displayed currently.
Now, I'd like to customize this in a variety of different ways.
So for example,
the status information is completely useless to me because every
client is going to be listed as Not NAP‑capable.
Microsoft removed NAP from the endpoints and from Windows 10 a long time
ago and so this is always going to show the same thing.
So the first thing I'm going to do is actually remove the status column,
but there is also some things that I would really like to see.
For example,
I would love to see the client IP address here and perhaps it's the VPN type,
and authentication type I find helpful as well.
And then, of course, you can reorder these columns as you wish.
So let's click OK,
and you'll see now it provides us a little bit more meaningful information,
and of course, you can sort on these columns and and so forth.
So I find this to be fairly helpful.
What I find here though, is that, again, the amount of information that's available to you is somewhat limited.
