== Windows 7 ==▼
Watch out if you are using [[IPv6]]. It seems that Win7 negotiates a non-routable [[IPv6]] address with the LNS. You have to discard this address and manually configure one of your routed [[IPv6]] addresses. ipconfig /release6 is your friend here.▼
== Windows 10 ==
# Select the 'Allow these protocols' radio button
# Ensure 'Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP)' is checked.
▲== Windows 7 ==
This probably applies to Windows 8 too.
Connecting with Windows 7 is almost the same as the steps for Windows 10 above, except that the default connection settings don't work. You have to edit the connection properties and on the Security tab change:
#'Type of VPN:' to 'Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol with IPsec (L2TP/IPSec)' otherwise it only tries PPTP
#'Data encryption:' to 'Optional encryption (connect even if no encryption)'
