Installing Savant VPN through the Application

Last Updated about a month ago

Click download in the top left of the window
Find the downloaded "SavVPN.zip" folder and open it, click into the "SavVPN" folder, then click and run the SavVPN.exe application (click "Run" on the warning about compressed files)

There will likely be a "Windows Defender SmartScreen" pop-up that states the program has been prevented from running because it's unrecognized - click "More info"...

...and then "Run anyway"
You should see a "Savant VPN" window pop-up asking if "you wish to install Savant VPN?" - click "Yes"
In the next window that appears, after "Make this connection available for:" select "All users" and click "Ok"
Two new windows will pop-up; you can close the window titled "Network Connections" and then fill out the Savant VPN window's fields

"User name:" = your typical Windows login (without an email domain address)
"Password:" = your typical Windows password
"Logon domain:" should be left blank
Select "Save Password" and "Connect automatically"
Select "Save these credentials for my use only"
Click "Connect" to establish a VPN connection
*Note: you can't connect to the VPN while on the "Savant Corporate" network

*Note:

If you see the below warning message that "You must provide a phone number or select..." in a smaller, new window appear, click "Ok" to close the warning and click the "Properties" button in accordance with the message
You'll see a new "Properties" window appear, as well as another smaller, new window appear asking if "you want to install [a modem] now?" Click "No" on this window and click "Ok" on the Properties window to save your changes. You can now click "Connect" on the main Savant VPN window to establish a VPN connection (step 6 above)
