Hello, I recently updated to Windows 10, and saw in the settings that there was an option to make a VPN. I decided to go ahead and make one using this guide (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZCiXx6KYtA), and I got everything set up. When I tried to connect to the VPN, I recieved the error message "The network connection between your computer and the VPN server was interrupted. This can be cause by a problem in the VPN transmission and is commonly the result of internet latency or simply that your VPN server has reached capacity." My connection is strong and I don't think that the VPN would reach capacity, so I do not know what is wrong here. Any help is appreciated.

I looked into VPNS more and realized I needed a VPN host, so I haven't looked into it much since. But yeah, I was trying to use my Windows 10 machine as a VPN server.
 

And you try to connect to it from another PC inside your local network or over the internet ?

I realized I was trying to make my computer a VPN and connect to itself, haha. So I don't think I can make a VPN without paying for one over the internet.
