# Create a VPN

***

## Create a VPN user using the control panel

You find the VPN service under **VPN** in the left-hand menu under **Networking**.

To create a new VPN user, first select **VPN** in the left menu and then click **Create VPN**. The VPN user will be created in the [project](/platform/control-panel/projects.md) you are currently in.
