Connecting a device to the VPN in the Coro Agent

Virtual private networks (VPNs) establish a secure and encrypted connection over the internet between devices and a remote server. This connection makes it difficult for hackers or third parties to intercept or access the data being transmitted.

By default, protected users can’t disconnect their devices from the VPN, ZTNA, or DNS filtering. Admin users can allow specific devices to be manually disconnected from the VPN.

For users who cannot disconnect from the service, the Coro Agent interface looks similar to:

VPN connected

You can view information about the service when it is connected, such as the duration of the VPN connection, the location of the VPN, your IP address and VPN IP address, the amount of data sent and received, encryption, and VPN protocol.
