The university provides massive and regular use of Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) to set up a private connection system using a public network connection. No matter how the setup and cost, many universities continue to use antiquated protocols despite their security vulnerabilities. When the Remote Access Control (RAC) is weak, unauthorized people are permitted to access the university’s network. In-depth VPN configuration and performance evaluation are still absent, despite previous research pointing to unmanaged group level access, the widespread use of antiquated protocols, and poor firewall configuration as sources of security issues. With the MikroTik router and IKEv2 VPN as a solution, this study aims to provide an in-depth configuration for improved security, reliability, and performance. This paper presents the performance of VPNs and their step-by-step config-uration.
