    “Microsoft’s latest update breaks [some] VPNs and there’s no fix [yet]”

    Windows is getting worse and worse, but do we have to spin legitimate bugs as some nefarious plot?

      Too late, there’s a little blood in the water so now everyone hates Microsoft and is pouncing on every drop they think they smell. Being part of an angry mob is fun!

      Don’t worry, in a couple of weeks or months some other big company or rich person will become the focus and everyone will forget about Microsoft again.

              Usually the uefi is locked and secure boot is enabled. You could even boot a different OS if you wanted.

              You clearly have not worked at most larger companies which have Acceptable Use Policies (AUP) which typically involves not modifying the PC and OS with threat of termination when (not if) discovered.

          Because the software we write has to run on windows and only windows. No Linux or wine or any other platform. It’s a fixed requirement from our client and unfortunately I don’t see that changing.

    This seems like bullshit to me. I’ve not seen anyone complaining their VPN isn’t working. And any business with staff using VPNs would not be happy if they managed to let that update get applied.

      I noticed my main VPN and backup VPN failing to connect the other day, but that was 3-4 days ago. Haven’t tried since, because I switched to Pop!_OS in that time.

      At the time I thought it was just my ISP being my ISP.

      E: Both with Wireguard and OpenVPN, across multiple servers.

      I’ve been dealing with a VPN failure at work.

      About 80% of my day has been lost due to access issues into the secure space I work, since about 6 days back.

        So like, the 0 that use that implementation. Like really, IPsec? No openvpn support? No wireguard support? What is this, 2004?

          Our sister company had their VPN broken by this and we had to switch to another system. Even though it wasn’t a particularly secure VPN (IPSec), the builtin Windows VPN was extremely reliable and convenience compared to shit like Pulse.

        I work for an MSP managing thousands of workstations and servers. I’m also the “VPN guy” so I deal with them constantly every single day.

        Perhaps you should ask questions before making assumptions.
