I have configured VPN settings on some of my user’s devices. But, I need to prevent this from being modified. Is there any ways to have this?

    Hey, Thanks for reaching out to us.

    Please navigate to Windows-> Restrictions-> Allow Network settings. You will be able to see the following option:
    Users can turn VPN on/off: Enable/Disable the users to add or remove a VPN Connection. Supported on Windows 10 PCs and mobiles.
    The option is allowed by default. Configure the option based on your requirements. Associate targets and save the policy.

    Kindly use the help link for a reference on the restrictions for Windows devices.

    Cheers!
