    Which VPN were you using that stopped working after a windows update?

    Or did you just read a headline and not bother to look into it any further?

        You didn’t answer me, so I’ll give you another chance. You must’ve missed my question last time. Which VPN were you using which stopped working after a windows update?

        I hope you weren’t just lying to my face.

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

      Tinc gets broken by Windows updates every once in a while. The problem is that the update sometimes renames the network connections and Tinc needs the connection to have a specific name to work.

      That’s the one I personally ran into several times now.

        Yeah, none of those are affecting me right now. I don’t think they’re affecting you, either.

          Holy fuck ignore my other comment. “Yeah your reality sounds different from mine, you’re wrong.” You’re just a stunted mind, no longer interesting.

          Given that I literally said I personally encountered this problem: Yes, it does. It’s mostly just an annoyance that goes straight onto the “Windows Update jank” pile but I have wasted quite a bit of time helping people deal with connectivity issues that could down to “tinc_vpn” getting automatically renamed to “Network Connection 7”.
