Here is what you need to know to add \u200can extra layer of security to your VPN by\u200d setting up MFA:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Check the type of MFA\u2062 your network provider supports. MFA types \u2062usually include two-factor authentication (2FA) and multi-factor\u2062 authentication (MFA).<\/li>\n<li>Download and \u200binstall the appropriate software on your\u2062 device.
