“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?
It’s also very nice how this site tries to launch a new tab to ask to enable notifications.
click bait never changes or whatever.
Windows is getting worse and worse
and so is the press :( websites and content creators enshittification is as bad as other companies (one could even argue they have been among the first to do that)
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.
Sure there is, abandon Windows.
Not at work, I can’t.
Sure there is, abandon Work.
I tried to turn in my buckets of thank yous at the bank but they didn’t take em. Gonna be windows for now
yup. i’m tied to unreal engine 5.
(yes, i know there’s a version for linux. i need to be on windows for the latest updates and work though.)
No, but at work it’s someone else’s problem. I’m so glad that my employer agreed to replace my Windows machine with a Mac.
Linux for VPN, VM for Windows :p
Why not?
Because work usually does provide the computer and they don’t want you to tamper with it too much.
Just uninstall the OS. If you have physical access then must do what you need to do in order to be productive
Usually the uefi is locked and secure boot is enabled. You could even boot a different OS if you wanted.
then must do what you need to do in order to be productive
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.
Can’t see the desk to write, and no indoor lighting
There’s no alternative, Linux doesn’t meet my needs as a PC user so I’m stuck with windows.
I guess you’ll have to accept your fate.
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.
Running Windows 11, is updated, VPN works perfectly
Okay quick question::
All vpns?
Or is there a list of affected v unaffected??
Don’t trust every “article” on some shitty website.
Well yeah. That’s kinda the point I was trying to make…
“It breaks VPNs!!”
Name one….
Oh yeah like a whole bUnCh!!!
Name…… one…
—- and in two articles I’ve seen they still have not named one. Great work there “journalists”
The System’s VPN imementation is broken. All of them are broken.
So like, the 0 that use that implementation. Like really, IPsec? No openvpn support? No wireguard support? What is this, 2004?
Meraki.
tbh if you managed to buy into meraki you deserved it
anyways, look at this christmas tree out of meraki gear:
It’s a crap platform, but it’s the company’s fault.
Just like the windows laptop.
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 used to live in an apartment with 4 other gay furries
Somehow I don’t think you are the beacon of corporate experience here
It’s okay sweetie, you’ll grow up some day :)
In fairness, Surfshark appears still to work.

Glad I dumped Windows in favor of an OS that doesn’t suck.
works on my machine

Perhaps click bait, but based on MS’ own list of issues with April’s upgrade patchset.
I’m running windows and my nordvpn still works. So maybe this article shouldn’t even exist and the OP should lose all credibility when ti comes to anything technology related.
Wouldn’t uninstalling the update fix it?
Wouldn’t uninstalling windows fix it permanently?

Has anyone here been running into this issue realtime since the update?
Vpns are working fine. This article is dogshit.
So because VPN works for you, it’s impossible for it to not work for literally anybody else?
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.
Tailscale still works here.
