Always On VPN at Workplace Ninja Summit 2022

The Workplace Ninja Summit takes place from 12-14 September 2022 in Lucerne, Switzerland. The conference focuses on endpoint management and security with platforms such as System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) and Microsoft Endpoint Manager/Intune.

Conference Sessions

If you are participating in the conference, be sure to attend one of my sessions! I’m delivering the following three talks during the event.

Windows Always On VPN and Autopilot: Better Together

In this talk, I’ll cover in detail the critical aspects of implementing Always On VPN to support Autopilot provision with Intune.

Deploying On-premises Certificates with Intune

This session will explore the options for deploying enterprise PKI certificates using Intune. I’ll be sharing lots of security and implementation best practices.

Deploying Always On VPN with Intune: The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly

This talk will dive into the options for deploying Always On VPN using Intune. I’ll be covering many tips, tricks, and best practices and shining a light on many limitations and shortcomings of using Intune for Always On VPN.

Unfortunately, the conference is sold out, so if you haven’t made arrangements to attend you’ll have to wait until next year. If you are attending, please be sure to say hello!

What’s New in Always On VPN DPC v3.0

Recently I wrote about a compelling solution from PowerON Platforms for managing Always On VPN client configuration setting using Active Directory group policy. Always On VPN Dynamic Profile Configurator (DPC) addresses a very specific need for managing Always On VPN for organizations that have not yet migrated to Microsoft Endpoint Manager/Intune. Recently, PowerON Platforms released an important update to DPC that includes many new features and capabilities.

New Features

Always On VPN DPC version 3.0 includes the following new functionality Always On VPN administrators are sure to find useful.

  • Traffic filters – Support for enabling traffic filters for both device tunnel and user tunnel are now supported in DPC, greatly simplifying the task of creating access control lists to enforce zero-trust network access (ZTNA) policies.
  • Enhanced security – The option to disconnect the VPN connection if the VPN server does not present a cryptobinding TLV is now enabled by default. This often-overlooked security setting ensures VPN client connections are not intercepted by detecting man-in-the-middle attacks.
  • Device tunnel enhancements – Administrators can now display the device tunnel connection and status in the Windows UI.
  • Backup connection – Always On VPN DPC now supports the configuration and deployment of a backup VPN connection, which is helpful when Always On VPN connectivity is disrupted.
  • Hostname routing – Administrators can now define hostnames in the routing table. Hostnames are resolved on the endpoint and converted to IP addresses for including in the routing table.
  • Smart card authentication – Always On VPN DPC now supports smart card authentication as an authentication option in addition to client authentication certificates.
