Establish a VPN connection in cmd

Question

How can I create a VPN connection with an arbitrary server using an arbitrary protocol in Windows cmd?

Answer 1

Have you looked into rasdial?

Just incase anyone wanted to do this and finds this in the future, you can use rasdial.exe from command prompt to connect to a VPN network

ie rasdial "VPN NETWORK NAME" "Username" *

it will then prompt for a password, else you can use "username" "password", this is however less secure
