The latest release of PowerON Platforms’ Always On VPN Dynamic Profile Configurator (DPC), version 4.3.1, is now available for download. This recent update includes fixes for previously known issues. In addition, it contains some critical new features administrators will find helpful in addressing the challenges they face with Always On VPN client configuration.
What Is DPC?
Always On VPN DPC is a solution to manage Always On VPN client configuration settings. It was originally designed to be used with on-premises Active Directory but can also be deployed with Microsoft Intune. DPC streamlines the configuration and management of client settings and includes many advanced features to fine-tune and optimize Always On VPN.
What’s New in 4.3.1
The following essential features are new in the 4.3.1 release of DPC.
Add Device Tunnel Routes to User Tunnel
Always On VPN administrators can now configure DPC to add device tunnel routes to the user tunnel automatically. This configuration option ensures that all traffic flows of the user tunnel when both user and device tunnels are established.
Note: This feature also requires administrators to define route metric options in DPC. Ensure the user tunnel route metrics are set to a lower value than the device tunnel metrics for proper operation.
Restart RasMan
Always On VPN connections occasionally fail with error 602 (ERROR_PORT_ALREADY_OPEN). The workaround for this is to restart the RasMan service on the endpoint. DPC now supports automatically restarting the RasMan service when this error occurs, ensuring reliable operation for Always On VPN connections.
Machine Certificate Filtering
DPC 4.3.1 now includes a feature to allow administrators to enable machine certificate filtering for Always On VPN device tunnels. This addresses a challenge when the endpoint has multiple machine certificates in its local computer certificate store when the VPN server is configured to accept a certificate with a specific custom application policy (EKU).
Additional Features
In addition, the updated DPC agent core service now run as x64 processes. Also, DPC now supports VPN server FQDNs longer than 63 characters (good news for those using DPC with Azure VPN gateway!).
