This seems like bullshit to me. I've not seen anyone complaining their VPN isn't working. And any business with staff using VPNs would not be happy if they managed to let that update get applied.

I noticed my main VPN and backup VPN failing to connect the other day, but that was 3-4 days ago. Haven't tried since, because I switched to Pop!_OS in that time.
At the time I thought it was just my ISP being my ISP.
E: Both with Wireguard and OpenVPN, across multiple servers.
I've been dealing with a VPN failure at work.
About 80% of my day has been lost due to access issues into the secure space I work, since about 6 days back.
Glad I dumped Windows in favor of an OS that doesn’t suck.
works on my machine
Vpns are working fine. This article is dogshit.
So because VPN works for you, it's impossible for it to not work for literally anybody else?
I work for an MSP managing thousands of workstations and servers. I'm also the "VPN guy" so I deal with them constantly every single day.
Perhaps you should ask questions before making assumptions.
I'm running windows and my nordvpn still works. So maybe this article shouldn't even exist and the OP should lose all credibility when ti comes to anything technology related.
Has anyone here been running into this issue realtime since the update?

Perhaps click bait, but based on MS' own list of issues with April's upgrade patchset.
Wouldn't uninstalling the update fix it?
Wouldn't uninstalling windows fix it permanently?
Tailscale still works here.
