IHawkMike ,

Exactly. Everybody on Lemmy a couple days ago was acting like the sky was falling when all we had were these one-paragraph FUD articles quoting Microsoft's own KB article. Most people commenting have no clue that "VPN" is a broad term covering at least a dozen different possible protocols and acted like Microsoft was intentionally breaking all VPNs.

The only thing I found was a reddit thread talking about how some VPNs using TPM-backed certs were broken. I, for one, am using an IPsec VPN with certs stored in TPM on one of the affected versions of Windows 11 and have had no problems. Nor have I had any issues with SSL or Wireguard-based VPNs, so it does just seem to be a fringe case they're warning about.

So Microsoft is just giving a heads-up that IT should probably include VPN testing in their patch cycle test rings and all the anti-MS people are losing their shit.
