Patch Tuesdays<\/a> are exciting because Microsoft fixes all those nagging minor issues and security problems that have popped up. However, sometimes things go sideways, which happened recently, as a Windows patch made some types of VPNs stop working.<\/p>\n

After Microsoft released the latest round of updates for Patch Tuesday,\u00a0IPSEC IKE and L2TP VPN connections were failing for many users. This was particularly problematic for businesses that relied on these connections for remote employees to access private systems.<\/p>\n

Microsoft\u2019s documentation<\/a> broke down the problem: \u201cAfter installing KB5009566, IP Security (IPSEC) connections which contain a Vendor ID might fail. VPN connections using Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) or IP security Internet Key Exchange (IPSEC IKE) might also be affected.\u201d<\/p>\n

Windows\u2019 built-in VPN was most commonly affected, but some users reported issues with third-party VPN software<\/a> that used\u00a0IPSEC IKE and L2TP connections, as well.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, the issue was resolved with an out-of-band update labeled\u00a0KB5010795, which is available now for Windows 11<\/a>, Windows 10, Windows Server 2022,\u00a0Windows Server 2019, and\u00a0Windows Server 2016. If you\u2019re running into problems with your\u00a0IPSEC IKE and L2TP VPN, make sure to update Windows<\/a> to fix the problem.<\/p>\n
