Always On VPN DPC Commercial Support

The Always On VPN Dynamic Profile Configurator (DPC) is a free, open-source solution that helps administrators deploy and manage Always On VPN client configuration settings using Active Directory, Group Policy, or Microsoft Intune. Since version 5.0, DPC has been publicly available and widely adopted. Until now, support has been limited to the community Discord channel. Many organizations, however, require formal support before they can deploy software, even open-source solutions. To meet this need, Leo D’Arcy and I are now offering a commercial support option for DPC.

Why Commercial Support Matters

Enterprises rely on accountability and timely assistance to ensure business-critical services run smoothly. Open source provides flexibility and cost savings, but it often lacks the reliability guarantees companies require. Commercial support bridges that gap—delivering confidence, faster resolutions, and compliance with internal support standards.

Customer Success Story

A UK National Health Service (NHS) Trust, an early customer of the support program, praised the impact of DPC on its remote access strategy. An infrastructure engineer at the NHS trust has this to say about DPC and commercial support:

“We have recently transitioned from SSL VPN to AOVPN and took the opportunity to use DPC to manage our configuration and deployment. We’ve previously experimented with Microsoft’s officially documented process, but DPC really simplifies and streamlines the implementation and management of the AOVPN tunnels.

During rollout, we discovered an issue that caused the user tunnel config to become corrupt. Being able to directly communicate and troubleshoot with Leo and the team meant that we were quickly able to have a fix and a new version of the client ready for deployment.

We are now running DPC and AOVPN on around 4000 endpoints with around 2000 concurrent connections each day. Feedback from users is very positive, and DPC simplifies ongoing management.”

Value Added

This real-world experience highlights the two most significant benefits of DPC with commercial support: rapid issue resolution (direct access to the people who build the software) and confidence at scale (thousands of endpoints, thousands of daily connections).

What DPC Commercial Support Includes

Purchasing a commercial support package provides:

  • 1 year of support services (renewable)
  • Direct access to Leo D’Arcy, lead developer of DPC
  • Support from Richard Hicks for DPC-related queries
  • Enhanced troubleshooting beyond community channels
  • Prioritized bug fixes
  • Early consideration for new feature requests
  • Dedicated private channels for secure communication

Don’t Wait

With a commercial support package, your organization gains expert guidance, faster issue resolution, and direct access to the team that builds and maintains DPC. DPC commercial support ensures smooth deployments, reduced risks, and compliance with internal support requirements

Troubleshooting DirectAccess IP-HTTPS Error 0x80090326

A Windows 7 or Windows 8.x/10 client may fail to establish a DirectAccess connection using the IP-HTTPS IPv6 transition technology. When troubleshooting this issue, running ipconfig.exe shows that the media state for the tunnel adapter iphttpsinterface is Media disconnected.

Troubleshooting DirectAccess IP-HTTPS Error 0x80090326

Running the Get-NetIPHttpsState PowerShell command on Windows 8.x/10 clients or the netsh interface httpstunnel show interface command on Windows 7 clients returns and error code of 0x80090326, with an interface status Failed to connect to the IPHTTPS server; waiting to reconnect.

Troubleshooting DirectAccess IP-HTTPS Error 0x80090326

Error code 0x80090326 translates to SEC_E_ILLEGAL_MESSAGE, indicating the client encountered a fatal error during the SSL handshake.

Troubleshooting DirectAccess IP-HTTPS Error 0x80090326

There are a number of things that can cause this to happen. The most common scenario occurs when an Application Delivery Controller (ADC) is improperly configured to perform client certificate authentication for IP-HTTPS connections. Common examples are an incorrect or missing root CA certificate, or null SSL/TLS cipher suites not enabled when supporting Windows 8.x/10 clients.

To troubleshoot DirectAccess IP-HTTPS error 0x80090326, perform a network trace on the DirectAccess client and observe the TLS handshake for clues as to which configuration error is the culprit. If the TLS handshake failure occurs immediately after the client sends a Client Hello, it is likely that the ADC does not have null cipher suites enabled.

Troubleshooting DirectAccess IP-HTTPS Error 0x80090326

If the TLS handshake failure occurs after the Server Hello, it is likely that the ADC is configured to perform client certificate authentication incorrectly, or the client does not have a valid certificate.

Troubleshooting DirectAccess IP-HTTPS Error 0x80090326

IP-HTTPS error 0x80090326 can also occur if an intermediary device is performing SSL/TLS inspection or otherwise tampering with the TLS request. It can also happen if the edge firewall and/or NAT device is forwarding IP-HTTPS connections to the wrong internal server, or if the firewall itself is responding to the HTTPS connection request. Remember, just because the server is responding on TCP port 443 doesn’t necessarily mean that it is the DirectAccess server responding!
