Does SOLIDWORKS work over VPN?
If you have a VPN connection, you may be wondering if SOLIDWORKS can be used over it. It can! You may need to change a few settings to make sure it works, but it can. The following is a quick tutorial on how to do that.
First, you need to know that you have a VPN connection. This means you have a connection that is not directly to the internet. Instead, it is routed through a VPN server. This server encrypts and decrypts your data. It is very common for VPN connections to be used for remote access to networks, but they can also be used to access the internet.
If you are using a VPN connection, you will need to make sure that SOLIDWORKS can see the server. This is done by using the “Network Address” option in the SOLIDWORKS Network Setup Wizard.

The “Network Address” option is the first step in configuring SOLIDWORKS for a VPN connection. It is the IP address of the server that SOLIDWORKS is going to connect to. The IP address of the server is what you will use in the SOLIDWORKS Network Setup Wizard.
The IP address of the server is the IP address of the server that SOLIDWORKS is going to connect to.
