    Yeah, you’re not wrong that the article kinda sets itself up for the “lookit our recommended VPNs” pitch.

    There’s no way Microsoft would purposefully disable VPNs from working. I can guarantee that they require VPNs for thousands of roles in the company, let alone breaking it for government agencies that require VPNs, etc.

    It is good to know that a specific update can break something ahead of time, though. Then at least you can avoid it.

      No, but they’ve done it accidentally before.

      One time a few years ago it broke all LT2P VPN’s unless you removed a specific KB########.

      IIRC, six months later there was still no fix.

      I think it’s been fixed now, though.
