Yes, you can install a VPN on your cloud PC — but we **highly recommend** that you have IT assistance or advanced technical knowledge before doing so.

✅ Understanding Your VPN Needs
- 🌐 **Accessing Websites**
If your goal is to access certain websites, a browser extension (e.g., CyberGhost VPN) is usually enough. This avoids the need to install a desktop VPN.
- 🖨️ **Connecting to On-Premises Equipment (e.g., a printer)**
In this case, what you need is a **Site-to-Site VPN**.
- We use a **pfSense firewall** for this setup.
- Please send your request to **support@v2cloud.com**, and our team will provide you with a form to complete for the establishment of the Site-to-Site VPN.
- 💻 **Other Use Cases (Desktop VPN)**
Yes, you can install a desktop VPN.
⚠️ **Important considerations:**
- Some desktop VPNs can **lock you out** of your cloud PC if misconfigured.
- Make sure to:
- Disable any **anti-malware** included in the VPN
- Disable the **Kill Switch** feature
- Enable/allow **Remote Connections** within the VPN settings

⚠️ **Disclaimer**
Improper VPN configuration can cause connectivity issues or prevent you from accessing your cloud PC. Please ensure you fully understand the settings, or involve your IT team before installation.
