# @ohos.net.vpnExtension (Enhanced VPN Management)

This module implements virtual private network (VPN) management, such as starting and stopping a third-party VPN.
Third-party VPNs refer to VPN services provided by third parties. They usually support more security and privacy functions and more comprehensive customization options.

> **NOTE**
> The initial APIs of this module are supported since API version 11. Newly added APIs will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.

### protect

protect(socketFd: number): Promise\<void\>

Protects sockets against a VPN connection. The data sent through sockets is directly transmitted over the physical network and therefore the traffic does not traverse through the VPN. This API uses a promise to return the result.

**System capability**: SystemCapability.Communication.NetManager.Vpn

**Parameters**

| Name  | Type  | Mandatory| Description                                                                                       |

| --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| Promise\<void\> | Promise used to return the result. If the operation is successful, the operation result is returned. If the operation fails, an error message is returned.|

**Error codes**

| ID| Error Message                                    |
| --------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| 401       | Parameter error.                             |
| 2200001   | Invalid parameter value.                     |
| 2200002   | Operation failed. Cannot connect to service. |

| 2203004   | Invalid socket file descriptor.              |

**Example**

```js
import { vpnExtension, VpnExtensionAbility } from '@kit.NetworkKit';
import { common, Want } from '@kit.AbilityKit';
import { hilog } from '@kit.PerformanceAnalysisKit';

let g_tunnelFd = -1;
let context: vpnExtension.VpnExtensionContext;
export default class MyVpnExtAbility extends VpnExtensionAbility {
  private vpnServerIp: string = '192.168.31.13';
  onCreate(want: Want) {
    let VpnConnection : vpnExtension.VpnConnection = vpnExtension.createVpnConnection(context);
    console.info("vpn createVpnConnection: " + JSON.stringify(VpnConnection));
    this.CreateTunnel();
    this.Protect();
  }
  CreateTunnel() {
      g_tunnelFd = 8888;
  }
  Protect() {
        hilog.info(0x0000, 'developTag', '%{public}s', 'vpn Protect');
        let VpnConnection : vpnExtension.VpnConnection = vpnExtension.createVpnConnection(context);
        VpnConnection.protect(g_tunnelFd).then(() => {
            hilog.info(0x0000, 'developTag', '%{public}s', 'vpn Protect Success');
        }).catch((err : Error) => {
            hilog.error(0x0000, 'developTag', 'vpn Protect Failed %{public}s', JSON.stringify(err) ?? '');
        })
  }
}
```
