Hide VPN Connection Details in VPN Tracker: 3 Easy Steps

When you roll out a VPN to your team, the connection setup usually contains sensitive information: server addresses, gateway URLs, or even pre-shared keys. If every user can see these details, there’s always a risk they could be copied, shared, or misused outside your organization.

That’s why VPN Tracker TeamCloud lets admins hide VPN connection details from regular team members. With this option enabled, users can still connect to the VPN securely — but they never see the underlying configuration. Only admins with the right license keep full visibility.

This approach follows the Zero Trust principle of least privilege: give every user just enough access to do their job, and nothing more. By hiding connection details, you reduce the risk of data leaks and make sure sensitive VPN settings stay in the right hands.

Select your TeamCloud connection in the VPN Tracker sidebar. Click on Configure at the top of the main window and scroll down to the bottom of the connection settings under Setup > Basic Settings.

Here you’ll find the option to “Hide connection details for team members.” Set the checkmark to enable it. Once activated, sensitive configuration data such as server addresses or keys will no longer be visible to regular team members, but they can still connect securely. Don’t forget to click Save so your changes take effect.

Enable the checkbox to hide VPN connection details for team members, then click Save to apply your changes.

Tip: If you don’t have a TeamCloud connection set up yet, first follow our guide on how to share a VPN connection with your team in VPN Tracker TeamCloud.

The hide VPN connection details feature is only available for admins with an Executive, VIP, or Consultant license. If you have one of these plans, you’ll see the option to enable the checkbox in your TeamCloud connection settings.

Once activated, other Team Admins will still be able to view the full connection details when needed. However, regular team members will no longer see sensitive information like server addresses, pre-shared keys, or gateway URLs. They can still connect to the VPN seamlessly, without having direct access to its configuration.

This ensures that technical control stays in the hands of admins, while everyday users only have the access required to work securely.

Define Connection Access

Open the Access tab to configure who should be able to use the VPN connection. To fine-tune access, choose Select members under the Team section. This allows you to grant VPN access only to specific user groups (e.g. Admins, IT, Marketing) or individual members, instead of making it available to everyone.

This granular access control enforces the Zero Trust principle of least privilege: only the right people get access to the right VPN resources. Admins and Organizers will always retain full visibility and control.

Choose "Select members" to control which user groups or individuals can access the VPN connection.

• Admins stay in control of all VPN configuration data.
• Team members connect securely without ever seeing sensitive details.
• Accounts are protected by both access restrictions and identity verification.

• Apply the principle of least privilege

  Only grant VPN access to the team members who truly need it. Use the Select members option to fine-tune permissions.

• Use groups for role-based access

  Organize your team into groups (e.g. Admins, IT, Marketing) and assign VPN access to groups instead of individuals. This makes it easier to manage permissions as your team grows.

• Combine with Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

  Hidden details prevent configuration leaks, while 2FA ensures that even if credentials are stolen, unauthorized users can’t connect. Learn how to set up Two-Factor Authentication.

• Review access regularly

  Periodically check who has access to which VPN connections and update settings as team roles change.
