Hi,

Has anyone had any issues with the Draytek SmartVPN client on Windows 10 with the connect button not working?

I've uninstalled, cleaned up install folders, temp folders, registry entries and tried all 5.xx versions - but get the same issue.

The application itself works ok, but clicking on connect just goes back to the profile screen.

Is there any decent workstation client alternatives to the Draytek Smart VPN?

Looking at the log file, this appears. Does anyone havent any idea why L2TP is not found?

Issue resolved.

I tried the other Windows 10 Built in VPN connector. This also had issues connecting on any existing or newly created VPNs , so not just the Draytek Smart VPN software.

Uninstalled the Draytek VPPP adapter.
Reset the whole windows network stack manually as MS Troubleshooter couldn't find any issue.
Installed Draytek VPPP adapter and Connect buttons now actually connect.

All VPNs working again!
