  1. Can't connect to vpn and wi-fi simultaneously


    Hello.I messed up my network settings and now I can't connect vpn and wi-fi simultaneously in my PC windows 10. When I try to connect the vpn I get an error message saying "A connection to the remote computer could not be established. You need to change the network settings for this connection."

    L2PT/IPSec VPN connection fails when using Wi-Fi

    Connecting to an L2PT/IPSec VPN connection fails when using a Windows 10 computer connected to the network by Wi-Fi. The error obtained is the following:


    Can't connect to vpn and wi-fi simultaneously 3425cf65-aa46-47b8-853b-27acbd9f3b9d?upload=true.png


    I am sure the VPN settings are correct because I can connect to the VPN with the same computer, when the computer is connected to the network by Ethernet. Moreover, I am positive there is not a firewall in the way either, because I tested with another computer
    using Ubuntu Linux, and I was able to connect to the VPN over Wi-Fi and Ethernet. Here is a list of the tests I ran:

    • Connection to VPN is sucessfull on Windows 10 when using Ethernet and Windows Firewall on.
    • Connection to VPN fails on Windows 10 when using Wi-Fi and Windows Firewall on or off.
    • Connection to VPN fails on Windows 10 when using both Wi-Fi and Ethernet network connections.
    • Connection to VPN is sucessfull on Ubuntu Linux when using Ethernet or Wi-Fi and UFW firewall on or off.

    All test were run with the computers connected to a TP-Link SR20 router as the DHCP server and gateway. The router has the L2PT and IPSec pasthrough settings enabled. The antivirus used in the Windows 10 computer is Avira (free edition).

    What is preventing the VPN connection when using a Wi-Fi network connection on Windows 10?

    Thanks

  3. Windows 10: How to Show VPN on Wi-Fi list (like Win 8 & 8.1)

    In Windows 8.0 and 8.1, VPN connections showed up when you clicked the Wi-Fi connection icon

    Can't connect to vpn and wi-fi simultaneously d6586ce3-f3c6-4030-b628-2c4f6b7d0032.jpg
    on the task bar and offered connect/disconnect directly from that context menu (A total of 3 clicks.)

    In Windows 10, multiple steps are required to first access your existing VPN connections (5 clicks):

    • click the

      icon
    • click Network Settings
    • click VPN
    • click your connection
    • click Connect.
    This seems to add it to the menu but has to be repeated for each connection. Now, once it's there, connecting/disconnecting is still a multi-step process vs. the 2 steps it took in previous versions:

    • click the Wi-Fi icon
    • click the VPN connection (Network Center launches)
    • click the VPN connection again, this time in the Network Center
    • click Connect or Disconnect
    Is it possible to configure Windows 10 in such a way as to minimize these steps?

    Can't connect to vpn and wi-fi simultaneously

    wi fi connection

    After windows 1903 update I don't have any wi fi connection or icon showing and have tried many suggestions on how to get it, but none have worked.

    Can you provide a step by step instruction on how to get wi fi icon and network.
