# VPN-based connection

{% embed url="<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TYg9MYomFkYkuJx3octFFRtia9ZfiqJg/view?usp=sharing>" %}

The advantage of a VPN-based connection is that the Camera Control Laptop can be located in a different location than the DeltaQuad Controller. You can make use of the VPN-based connection anywhere in the world as long as there is an internet connection.

## Pairing the DeltaQuad Controller with the Camera Control Laptop

If you use the VPN-based connection for the first time you need to pair the DeltaQuad Controller with the Camera Control Laptop:

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.deltaquad.com/deltaquad-pro-operations-manual-v2/deltaquad-pro-view/using-the-camera-control-laptop/vpn-based-connection.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
