For reference, they literally just broke VPNs for many people and corporations are now having to roll back updates for their staff

Can you provide a source that it affected "many people and corporations"? If there are so many, it should be easy to name one.

Mate, you dumb? The link cites Microsoft KB. This issue is officially reported BY Microsoft, not by some random people online.

[+] TAYRN -7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, but you didn't bother to actually follow the link or read what it says. There was a bug in Microsoft's VPN implementation (which no one uses) which affected no one, until they fixed it.

What do you mean no one uses it? You seriously that dumb?

[–] TAYRN -3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (2 children)

I am seriously that dumb. Can you give me an example of someone who used it and was affected by this?

Disregarding the topic and focusing on semantics for half a second out of pure (and weekend freedom stoned) curiosity, why do you value the anecdotal experience of others--and seemingly in one direction only?

My Cousin Vinny's Tomato Canning and Money Laundering Inc, ran by my cousin Vinny and his family of hard looking unrelated men lost VPN access after the last Microsoft update. I'm lying, BUT let's pretend I'm not, what's your next weird hill, I'm curious.

Well, I used to use it back in the days. Many VPN providers like NordVPN use IKEv2. Older corporate deployments of Cisco VPN use IPSEC. Should I continue?
