What’s New in Always On VPN DPC v5.4.0

A new edition of the popular Always On VPN Dynamic Profile Configurator (DPC) is now available. Version 5.4.0, released on May 5, 2026, includes some new features, reliability improvements, and additional miscellaneous fixes.

What’s New in DPC v5.4.0

The following new features and improvements are included in the latest release of DPC.

Signed Binaries

Beginning with release v5.4.0, all binaries, including the installer, are digitally signed. This streamlines the installation process and allows DPC to better integrate with application controls.

EAP-TLS

By popular demand, EAP-TLS support has been added as an authentication option in DPC. Historically, DPC strictly adhered to security best practices and only allowed Protected EAP (PEAP). However, many administrators required EAP-TLS to better integrate with non-Microsoft VPN services.

Additional Enhancements

Other changes include better profile change comparison and a new logo. In addition, the DPC ADMX files are now publicly accessible on ADMScope.

Summary

Administrators running earlier versions of DPC are encouraged to upgrade to v5.4.0 as soon as possible.
