Tailscale still works here.
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.
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?
“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.
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.
click bait never changes or whatever.
Wouldn’t uninstalling the update fix it?
Wouldn’t uninstalling windows fix it permanently?
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’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
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.
Okay quick question::
All vpns?
Or is there a list of affected v unaffected??
The System’s VPN imementation is broken. All of them are broken.
In fairness, Surfshark appears still to work.
So like, the 0 that use that implementation. Like really, IPsec? No openvpn support? No wireguard support? What is this, 2004?
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 :)
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.
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”
Sure there is, abandon Windows.
Not at work, I can’t.
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.
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
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
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.
Usually the uefi is locked and secure boot is enabled. You could even boot a different OS if you wanted.
Can’t see the desk to write, and no indoor lighting
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.
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.

Perhaps click bait, but based on MS’ own list of issues with April’s upgrade patchset.
Coincidentally I saw Edge pop up an ad for Microsoft VPN for the first time as soon as I started it today… Hmmm
Jesus christ microsoft. Fuck it, I don’t need that windows exclusive software I was missing that bad, back to arch.

Has anyone here been running into this issue realtime since the update?
Glad I dumped Windows in favor of an OS that doesn’t suck.
works on my machine
