This episode explores a variety of network connection types and how they're configured or supported within a Windows environment. We begin with Virtual Private Networks (VPNs)—how they provide secure tunneling for remote access and what authentication methods are commonly used. Next, we explain proxy settings and their effect on web access and application communication.

We also walk through the setup and troubleshooting of wired Ethernet connections, wireless network profiles, and WWAN—Wireless Wide Area Network—connections found in cellular-enabled devices. These various connectivity types may appear in performance-based questions that require analyzing connection status or selecting the appropriate technology for a scenario.
