I have had two calls this morning with user that connect using Windows VPN to the MX, saying the connection is broken.
One person was connected at 7:00am, then after a restart, could not connect. (they think there was an update)
"L2TP connection attempt failed ..." I verified all the settings and the connection to the MX works fine.
I recall this happened a couple years ago with a February update and MS released a fix.
I was wondered if anyone else is seeing this yet.
I do not see any other postings on this today!
Thanks for you thoughts,
Tony
Have you updated Windows recently? The problem is probably related to an operating system update. Which doesn't surprise me. In other words, there is nothing related to Meraki.
Thanks- I am now uninstalling this mornings update. We will see.
I have uninstalled:
2024-06 Cumulative Update Preview KB5039299
Security Update KB5039211
This update fails to uninstall: Update MS Windows - KB5037849
Of course MS is trying to reinstall so stopped Service:
Connection to VPN still not working.
Instead of uninstalling the windows update, try reconfiguring ClientVPN entirely on the Windows machine.
Thank you for the recommendation. I can try that, but I have 50 or so possible VPN users on Windows 10 where this could be the next problem.
Not sure I have that many hours.
I see this in an old post, but it also wants to delete the VPN and rebuild.
Add to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\PolicyAgent
RegValue: AssumeUDPEncapsulationContextOnSendRule
Type: DWORD
Data Value: 2
Try the Smart VPN, you can configure a L2TP connection on it.

Thanks - Looks good, but we have some DoD clients and they are "limited" to what can be used.
I think I remember @PhilipDAth made a script once that’s publicly available that configures L2TP vpn. Philip, do I remember correctly?
Here is It.
