Most customers should use our free Windows app — see VPN Software - Windows. It's quicker and manages servers for you. Use this manual method only if you can't install the app (e.g. a locked-down work laptop).
Add the VPN connection
Right-click the network icon in the taskbar and choose Network and Internet settings.
Click VPN, then Add VPN.
Fill in the connection details
VPN provider: Windows (built-in)
Connection name: Liberty Shield
Server name or address: l2tp.mysetup.co.uk
VPN type: L2TP/IPsec with pre-shared key
Pre-shared key: 953783903
Sign-in info: User name and password — enter your Liberty Shield login, tick Remember, and Save.
Connect
Click Connect next to the new Liberty Shield entry.
Connecting quickly from the taskbar
Click the Network/Volume/Battery icons on the taskbar and use the VPN quick setting to connect and disconnect in one click.
When connected, a small blue shield appears over the network icon.
Check it worked: visit showmemyip.com — it should show the VPN country.
