## Defaults

By default, [vpn peer visible](https://docs.islandrouter.com/island-router-cli-2.3.2/commands/vpn-peer/vpn-peer-visible) is initially disabled on VPNs created by IslandExpress.

## Usage Guidelines

This command controls the initial value of [vpn peer visible](https://docs.islandrouter.com/island-router-cli-2.3.2/commands/vpn-peer/vpn-peer-visible) on VPNs created by IslandExpress, making the VPN invisible to the Island's management plane. This can be changed later using the [vpn peer visible](https://docs.islandrouter.com/island-router-cli-2.3.2/commands/vpn-peer/vpn-peer-visible) command.

## Examples

```
vpn server auto-visible on
```
