# OCI VPN
Integration version1.0.0
## Overview{% #overview %}

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Site-to-Site Virtual Private Network (VPN) uses the industry-standard IPSec protocol to ensure private and secure connectivity from your corporate networks and sites to OCI through your existing internet connection.

This integration allows you to monitor and alert on VPN status, throughput, and errors by collecting metrics from the [oci_vpn](https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Network/Reference/ipsecmetrics.htm) namespace.

## Setup{% #setup %}

### Installation{% #installation %}

After setting up the [Oracle Cloud Infrastructure](https://docs.datadoghq.com/integrations/oracle_cloud_infrastructure/) integration, verify that any namespaces mentioned above are included in your [Connector Hub](https://cloud.oracle.com/connector-hub/service-connectors).
