Using a different port with built-in VPN Client

VPN
1

Hi all,

I’ve recently swapped from Ubuntu to Windows 10. My work VPN, which is a Cisco SSL VPN is setup on port 4445, instead of (I assume) the default 443.

With the built-in Windows 10 SSL-VPN client, if I add ‘:4445’ on the end of the Server IP address Windows thinks it’s a Domain Name and attempts to resolve it. Obviously, if I leave :4445 off it attempts the default port which times out.

Adding a :4445 on the end of a URL to indicate a particular port is common practice. If I cannot do this in the Windows VPN Client Server address field, then where or how do I specify a certain port to connect to?

Thanks in advance,

Not sure about Cisco VPN in particular, but adding :port-number after domain name works fine for Windows SSTP.
