Setup
How do I set up a VPN service for my business?
Setting up a business VPN requires careful protocol selection, server deployment, client configuration, and access control. Chatref lets you centralize all setup docs, automate configuration steps, and onboard employees smoothly – turning your VPN deployment into a self-serve experience that runs from your own knowledge base.
Centralize VPN documentation in your knowledge base
Upload your VPN setup guides, server configs, client walkthroughs, and troubleshooting FAQs to Chatref. The AI agent learns your content and answers employee questions directly from those docs – no more outdated wiki pages or guesswork. This creates a living, searchable business VPN setup reference that stays accurate and reduces repeat tickets from IT. It’s the first step toward a secure VPN installation that your team can trust.
Automate secure VPN installation with custom actions
Use Chatref’s custom-actions to let employees request a VPN client install, generate unique credentials, or send config files through the chat widget itself. The agent calls your backend automation – whether that’s a script that provisions a user on your OpenVPN server or configures WireGuard peers – and delivers the result in the conversation. This makes secure VPN installation a few clicks for the end user without burdening your IT team. For enterprise VPN configuration, you can tie actions to your identity provider to auto-assign access policies.
Roll out the VPN with guided onboarding
Once your VPN is configured, roll out access through Chatref’s onboarding flow. The agent walks new hires through installation, credentials, and first connection in a step-by-step chat experience. It verifies each step and only escalates to a human when something goes wrong, so employees get on the VPN faster and support stays focused on complex cases. Integrate this into your business VPN setup to make getting connected effortless for everyone.

Add your user provisioning script as a custom action; Chatref triggers it on request. Combine this with a knowledge base article on group policies, and you give employees a self-service way to get connected while maintaining consistent configurations across the whole team.
What are the best practices for VPN setup?
Always use strong encryption (WireGuard or OpenVPN), enforce multi-factor authentication, segment network access by role, and keep configurations documented in a central place. Chatref’s knowledge base lets you maintain that documentation and have it answer questions directly, keeping your secure VPN installation consistent over time.
Can I automate VPN configuration for new employees?
Yes. With custom-actions, you can link Chatref to your HR onboarding system. When a new hire is added, the agent can automatically provision a VPN account, send credentials, and start an onboarding chat that guides them through setup – all without a ticket.
