# Update VPN Gateway
IONOS CLOUD VPN Gateway: update an existing VPN gateway configuration using the DCD
The **VPN Gateways** page lists all your VPN Gateways.
{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** During the scheduled maintenance, you can only update the VPN gateway's name and description. You must wait until the maintenance process is finished before modifying the other details.
{% endhint %}
To update the VPN Gateway details, follow these steps:
1\. In the **DCD**, go to **Menu** > **Network Services** > **VPN Gateway**.
2\. In the **VPN Gateways** window, click on the name of the VPN Gateway to update its details. Alternatively, you can also click  and select **Details and Edit** from the **OPTIONS** column.
3\. Update the selected VPN Gateway details:
* **System information:** Displays the state of the VPN Gateway, creation and modification details, UUID and the resource URN.
* **Download Configuration:** Select this option to manually download the configuration details of the selected VPN Gateway. For more information, see [Download VPN Gateway Configuration](/cloud/network-services/vpn-gateway/dcd-how-tos/download-config.md).
* **Setup & LAN connections:** You can modify the properties, upgrade from the current plan or change to high-availability or vice-versa, LAN connections, or the maintenance schedule.
{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** VPN Gateways do not support connecting to LANs directly managed by Managed Kubernetes. However, you can attach additional LANs to node pools and connect these LANs to a VPN Gateway.
{% endhint %}
* **Tunnels or Peers:** Based on the chosen VPN Gateway protocol, you can update the details of an existing tunnel or peer or click **Add Tunnels** or **Add Peers** to add a new tunnel or a peer. For more information, see [Update IPSec Tunnel and WireGuard Peer](/cloud/network-services/vpn-gateway/dcd-how-tos/update-tunnels-peers.md).
4\. Select **Save** to update the VPN Gateway details with the changes made.
{% hint style="success" %}
**Result:** The VPN Gateway is successfully updated.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.ionos.com/cloud/network-services/vpn-gateway/dcd-how-tos/update-vpn-gateway.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
