# Add a Connector to a Network

A Connector can be added to a Network while configuring the new Network. Refer to [About Networks](https://openvpn.net/cloud-docs/owner/networks/networks---networks/about-networks.md). The Connector section allows you to add an additional Connector to an existing Network. After adding a Connector, an OpenVPN Connector needs to be deployed on the network, or the profile needs to be used with a compatible router. Refer to [About Connectors](https://openvpn.net/cloud-docs/owner/get-started/about-cloudconnexa/cloudconnexa-connectors.md).

You can add an additional Connector to an existing Network from the Connectors tab shown in the detailed view as shown in [View, make changes, and delete a Network](https://openvpn.net/cloud-docs/owner/networks/networks---networks/view-make-changes-and-delete-a-network.md), or you can add it from the Connectors list as shown below:

> **Note**
>
> The protocol used by the Connector being added will match the existing Network Connector's tunneling protocol: OpenVPN or IPsec.

1. Sign in to the CloudConnexa Administration Portal using your WPC's **Cloud ID** address (for example, `yourcompany.openvpn.com`).
2. Navigate to **Networks \> Connectors**.
3. Click **Add Connector**.
4. Provide the **Name** for the Connector.
5. Optionally, provide a **Description**.
6. Select the Network for the Connector from the **Network** drop-down.
7. Change the default Region shown to the closest to the application server's location if needed.
8. Click **Add Connector**.

   The newly added Connector will appear in the list. For an OpenVPN Connector, choose the options from the **Deploy** drop-down menu, or for an IPsec Connector, click the **Configure** button.
