# How to Setup VPN?

A VPN, or Virtual Private Network, is a service that allows you to connect to the internet through an encrypted tunnel. It creates a secure, private connection over a public network, like the internet, which helps protect your data and online activities from being monitored or intercepted. By using a VPN, your IP address is masked, which hides your real location and makes it appear as if you're browsing from a different location. This can also help you access region-restricted content and bypass censorship.

To set up a VPN connection, you need to have a public IP address assigned to your account. To receive a public IP address, please contact Monogoto sales at <sales@monogoto.io>.

{% hint style="info" %}
When requesting a public IP address, please specify whether your cloud environment is located in the EU or US zone. This ensures the IP address is provisioned correctly based on regional routing policies and network optimization requirements.

APN configuration depends on your deployment:

* VPN in the EU operates with vpneu.mono APN (data.mono (legacy, still supported)
* VPN in the US operates with vpnus.mono APN

If your account has been assigned a custom APN, use that APN instead of the standard ones above.

After public IP has been provisioned to your account, configure your device with the appropriate APN based on your region and account setup to ensure proper routing and connectivity.
{% endhint %}

Once your account has been set up with a public IP address, you can proceed with the VPN configuration by selecting one of the example tutorials below, based on your network environment (e.g., AWS, Azure, etc.).
