  1. cant connect to my VPN Here is the Error message The L2TP connection attempt failed because...


    The L2TP connection attempt failed because the security layer encountered a processing error during the initial negotiations with the remote computer in windows 10I already Turn on the Microsoft MS-CHAP v2 Protocol , Active the LPC protocol Extensions, Try creating a new UDPE Encapsulation Registry Key, and reinstalling Network adapters.. In one case I tried to follow uninstaal KB5009543 but I cant find it on my conmputer.. Does anyone solve this?

    VPN - "The L2TP connection attempt failed because security policy for the connection was not found".

    Connecting Windows 10 VPN to Draytek routers on numerous sites all returns the same error. Sometimes a reboot works, sometimes it doesn't. Have followed all steps in the similar message (The L2TP connection attempt failed because the security layer encountered a processing error during the initial negotiations with the remote computer), but this error of mine is "security policy not found". Where is the security policy and why does it have a problem finding it sometimes??

  3. Error: 788, when connecting to L2TP VPN

    Hi there, recently I got this error when connecting to "L2TP/IPSec with certificate" VPN. I'm not sure what cause this.

    I have already follow some of this steps with no luck :

    • Adding AssumeUDPEncapsulationContextOnSendRule
    • Restarting both IKE and IPSec services
    • Allowing both CHAP and MS-CHAP v2
    • Reset network connection
    • Connect to different provider
    • Re-adding VPN settings
    There also little bit information can be found in the event viewer :

    CoId={AEE0E2A8-34DF-41BB-B5F0-0458EFD41751}: The user xxx\xxx has started dialing a VPN connection using a per-user connection profile named yes. The connection settings are:

    Dial-in User = *\

    VpnStrategy = L2TP

    DataEncryption = Requested

    PrerequisiteEntry =

    AutoLogon = No

    UseRasCredentials = Yes

    Authentication Type = PAP

    Ipv4DefaultGateway = Yes

    Ipv4AddressAssignment = By Server

    Ipv4DNSServerAssignment = By Server

    Ipv6DefaultGateway = Yes

    Ipv6AddressAssignment = By Server

    Ipv6DNSServerAssignment = By Server

    IpDnsFlags =

    IpNBTEnabled = Yes

    UseFlags = Private Connection

    ConnectOnWinlogon = No

    IPsec authentication for L2TP = Machine certificate.

    CoId={AEE0E2A8-34DF-41BB-B5F0-0458EFD41751}: The user xxx\xxx is trying to establish a link to the Remote Access Server for the connection named yes using the following device:

    Server address/Phone Number = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

    Device = WAN Miniport (L2TP)

    Port = VPN3-1

    MediaType = VPN.

    CoId={AEE0E2A8-34DF-41BB-B5F0-0458EFD41751}: The user xxx\xxx dialed a connection named yes which has failed. The error code returned on failure is 788.

    cant connect to my VPN Here is the Error message The L2TP connection attempt failed because...

    L2TP Connection attempt failed - April 2022 (SOLVED)

    I set up a clients computer before Christmas and configured a L2TP with preshared key VPN which had been working without issues up until a few weeks ago. I can confirm that the following is in place:

    • All ports corrected forwarded.
    • Regedit - AssumeUDPEncapsulationContextOnSendRule / DWORD (32 bit) Value = 2
    • Adapter PPP settings - Enable LCP extensions (ticked for use)
    • Adapter Security tab - Allow these protocols / Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) & Microsoft CHAP Version 2 (MS-SHAP v2)
    • All Windows updates applied

    I understand that L2TP was broken around January, and then a patch released, with this computer up to date with updates. As a test, I configured my own computer (which had a fresh Windows 11 install a month ago) and is fully up to date with updates, and get the same errors when trying to connect.

    So I am at a loss as to why this is 'still' broken even though both computers are now up to date. I'm still getting the following error:

    The L2TP connection attempt failed because the security layer encountered a processing error during the initial negotiations with the remote computer.

    Any suggestions would be much appreciated. I'm connecting to a Synology NAS. Searches for this error return the update issue from earlier this year, and have not found any further recent information.
