Specify VPN port in windows 10, "Edit VPN Connection"
It seems like i am only able to specify a hostname or an ip address as "Server name or adress", but how do I specify the port?
I was trying to separate the port with colon and comma, semicolon and space without success.

You cannot change the port number for the Windows built-in VPN. The most you can do is use port-forwarding on the router.
I believe that this is possible if you use OpenVPNinstead of using Windows for both server and client.
3You CAN configure the Windows built-in VPN.
eg. 1.2.3.4:10443
Here are some more options for such configurations provided by Fortinet:
More options for “Server name or address” field.
(a) To use port 10443 and realm “realmname”:ServerAddress:10443/realmname
(b) To ignore server certificate error:ServerAddress:10443/realmname?ignore-certificate-errors=1 , orServerAddress:10443/realmname?ice=1 , orServerAddress:10443/realmname?ice
(c) To enable pop-up to select client certificate:ServerAddress:10443/realmname?cert=
(d) To pre-configure a client certificate:ServerAddress:10443/realmname?cert=SubStringOfCertSubject
(e) To use PKI user (certificate user):ServerAddress:10443/realmname?cert=&no-username-password=1 , orServerAddress:10443/realmname?cert=&nup=1 , orServerAddress:10443/realmname?cert=&nup
1To specify the port just make sure it has "https://" in front of it; otherwise if you just use 1.2.3.4:1234 it doesn't work.
In my case without the port specification I didn't need the "https://" and could just enter 1.2.3.4 - but when I needed to specify the port I had to format it like this:
