Managing your own Windows VPN connections? Don’t waste time poking around in Settings or Control Panel- do this, instead.
If you’ve ever had to manually set up a Windows VPN connection, you’ll know the whole process is a confusing mess. Should you do it from Settings, maybe it’s better from Control Panel, or can you just click that Network icon in your system tray? Rasphone is a tiny built-in Windows app that allows you to create new VPN connections, edit existing ones and get yourself connected, all from the same simple interface. It doesn’t add anything surprising – there’s no kill switch, no WireGuard support or anything else – but if you regularly use Windows‘ own VPN connections then it’ll speed up and simplify your VPN life. To launch Rasphone, type RASPHONE in the Search box and choose the app from the list, or press and hold the Windows key, press R, type RASPHONE and press Enter. The Rasphone interface is basic, but still covers all the core features you need. There’s a list of existing VPN connections, a Connect button when you need protection, a Properties button to view and edit settings and a New button to create a new VPN connection from scratch.
