Windows 10: Win 10 Pro - Built-in VPN Host/Server L2TP

Hi Guys,


I have a question about setting up VPN Host on my office machine running win 10 pro, as I want to connect from home to work through rdp. When I asked this question on other forums, everyone rather than telling the pros/cons of win 10 built-in VPN pointed out either buy a gateway/router with built-in VPN, install DDWRT on router, use OPENVPN or Pfsense. My question is what's wrong with built-in win 10 VPN Host?


Other question is, if I decided to go with win 10 VPN, I saw few videos/tutorials they set the L2TP encryption on the client machine. I did not see the settings on the Host machine to accept on L2TP connection. Is this correct? Also, can I change the default port setting on the router to any other port for vpn connection, such as RDP port. I changed the default RPD port.


Thanks in advance.

:)

 

VPN L2TP server

I have previously configured a Windows 10 pc to accept incoming VPN traffic via broadband using PPTP protocol, but now that Apple have discontinued PPTP support on IOS/OSX based devices in favour of other protocols e.g. L2TP/IPsec, I have no apparent
way of accessing my private network via an Apple client and a Windows based VPN server. Is there is a way to do something similar via an Apple based client and a Windows 10 pc running an L2TP based server?

 

Windows 10 Pro 1903 l2tp/ipsec psk vpn not working

Hello everyone,

after the upgrade to 1903, my vpn is not working anymore, the popup for user login is not showed and it remains in "connecting" state.

The vpn is an l2tp/ipsec with preshared key, using the built-in vpn client.

I don't see packets coming on vpn server side.

On both updated laptops the behavior is the same, on not updated computers the vpn is working fine.

Someone is having the same problem?

Someone has suggestions on how to solve it?

Thanks

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
