Configure and implement secure VPN connections using OpenVPN. These configurations help optimize network security and ensure you can securely access your cloud resources. It includes two subsections:

* [VPN Setup](/docs/automation-platform/overview-1/prerequisites/vpn/vpn-setup.md): This page outlines the two-step process for setting up OpenVPN, including accepting the OpenVPN agreement in the GCP Marketplace and provisioning a VPN in the DuploCloud Portal.
* [Connect to the VPN](/docs/automation-platform/overview-2/prerequisites/connect-to-the-vpn.md): This section guides users through connecting to the provisioned VPN, enabling secure communication between local environments and cloud resources.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.duplocloud.com/docs/automation-platform/overview-1/prerequisites/vpn.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
