<p class="callout success">The settings for connecting users (client-to-site VPN) are described in the article [**VPN connection L2TP IPsec**](https://docs.safedns.com/books/42-setup-users/page/l2tp-ipsec).</p>

#### Allow remote users to connect via L2TP/IPsec protocol

1\. Go to **Users -&gt; VPN connections**.  
2\. Check the item **L2TP/IPsec** **connection**. Unchecking the box disables all users connected via L2TP/IPsec and makes their connection impossible.

3\. Change the default PSK. The pre-shared key is a line that will need to be entered in the L2TP/IPsec connection settings on end devices.

<p class="callout info">When changing the Pre-shared key, all remotely connected users will be disconnected. To restore connectivity, specify a new PSK on remote user devices.</p>
