# VPN Server Setup Checklist

https://fiberserver.net.tr/en/knowledgebase/article/vpn-server-setup-checklist

A VPN deployment requires more than installing a package. Plan address ranges, authentication, routing, DNS and firewall rules before allowing production users.

## Prepare the server

Install updates, assign a stable hostname and restrict administrative access. Choose a supported VPN solution and follow its official documentation.

## Configure routing and access

Allow only the VPN port, define which internal networks clients can reach and avoid overlapping address ranges.

## Test clients

Verify connection, DNS resolution, internet routing and access restrictions from multiple device types. Store recovery credentials securely and monitor logs.
