Microsoft's latest Windows update breaks VPNs, and there's no fix
Microsoft's most recent security update for Windows 10 and Windows 11 may cause VPNs to fail to connect, Microsoft warns. There is no fix.
You're viewing a single thread.
I dunno man. I'm convinced that pretty much any mention of VPN these days is just an ad for vpns. That's with this article looks like.
Yeah, you're not wrong that the article kinda sets itself up for the "lookit our recommended VPNs" pitch.
There's no way Microsoft would purposefully disable VPNs from working. I can guarantee that they require VPNs for thousands of roles in the company, let alone breaking it for government agencies that require VPNs, etc.
It is good to know that a specific update can break something ahead of time, though. Then at least you can avoid it.

No, but they've done it accidentally before.
One time a few years ago it broke all LT2P VPN's unless you removed a specific KB########.
IIRC, six months later there was still no fix.
I think it's been fixed now, though.
And now a word from our sponsor, Nor-
Skip 10 seconds. Skip 10 seconds. Skip 10 seconds.
Give up and install SponsorBlock.
But it's NordVPN.com/BigMoney. The ad is the best part of the video.
Bounced on my boy’s Raycons to this for hours
I do hope you were playing an invigorating game of Raid Shadow Legends at the time.
all ad copy is an ad for sponsor block
Its actually real news
My workplace requires VPN for Web sites that are authenticated, require 2FA and are encrypted. It's infuriatingly stupid. I feel like someone higher up got sold a useless contract by a good VPN salesperson.
Most likely all connections are run through the gateway of the company allowing them to apply security to all web traffic on their clients.
It might hinder you but there is plenty of method to this madness.
Ya that just sounds like good practice for internal services.
@[email protected] Maybe see if you can use a FIDO2 device like yubikey for 2fa
I applaud your IT leadership/CIO for being willing to do this.
Most companies are far too passive and think "aIt won't happen to us".
I've seen companies scammed of $1mil in a single transaction because they sent credentials in email, to a scammer.
Had they used a credential management system this wouldn't have happened.
Every layer of security helps.
Yeah, maybe they should encrypt it a third time. You never know.
