Cómo crear una red privada virtual con Windows

Imagina que estás en el extranjero para una reunión de negocios con un proveedor foráneo. Es una reunión importante para ti y para tu compañía; si logras cerrar el trato, conseguirás un ascenso importante. La mañana de la presentación, prendes tu laptop y descubres que el disco duro falló y es imposible acceder a tus archivos. Entras en pánico, llamas a tu oficina para pedir que te envíen por correo una copia de la presentación, pero por la diferencia de horario no hay nadie que conteste tu llamada y todo parece perdido. Sin embargo, si supieras cómo configurar una red virtual privada (VPN por sus siglas en inglés), ¡podrías acceder a ese archivo desde cualquier computadora en el mundo! Una VPN te permite conectarte a una computadora y acceder a sus archivos desde cualquier parte en la que te encuentres.

Instalar una VPN en Windows es un proceso que consta de dos partes. La primera es configurar una computadora para compartir tus archivos (actuará como “servidor”) y la segunda es configurar otra computadora para que puedas acceder a esos archivos (actuará como “cliente”).

Consejos

Ambas computadoras deberán estar conectadas a Internet para que el acceso remoto a los archivos funcione.
El nombre de usuario y la contraseña deberán ser introducidos exactamente igual que en el momento cuando los registraste (caracteres especiales, mayúsculas y minúsculas incluidas).
La dirección IP también deberá ser transcrita exactamente como apareció en la pantalla de consulta.
Si tu red VPN no está funcionando, desactiva el cortafuegos de Windows (Firewall). Si funciona de esta manera significa que hace falta redireccionar los puertos para que el cortafuegos permita la conexión a la red virtual privada: reconfigúralos y vuelve a activar el Firewall si quieres que tu computadora esté segura.

Advertencias

No des acceso a la cuenta de usuario “invitado”. Como no requiere una contraseña, cualquiera puede acceder a tu "Red virtual privada" usando esa cuenta.
