NetGear ProSafe VPN client (6.12.001) fails after latest Windows 10 update (FVS336Gv2)
Hi,
Latest Windows 10 update stopped NetGear VPN client from connecting to the router, Phase 1 fails to complete.
None of the proposed solutions work. Please see detailed log at the end of this message.
This solution (https://community.netgear.com/t5/VPN-Firewalls/Windows-10-Netgear-ProSafe-VPN-Client-not-working-at-all-or-not/m-p/973758#M3080) is not working, as we have update firmware and use the latest client software.
Other approaches we tried:
0. Upgrafed router firmware (FVS336Gv2), client software (6.12.001)
1. Uninstalled/restart computer/nstalled NetGear Client
2. Distabled Windows firewall, UAC, repeated 1.
3. Run as adminsitrator, run as compatible with previous Windows versions
4. Enabled/disabled dual split tunneling

DaneA, all,
Windows latest system update (KB 3124200) solved the NetGear VPN problem for me.
For any major Windows update (since 8.1), make sure to repeat the following steps:
1. disable IKEEXT service
2. reinstall NetGear
Good luck!

Hi Jelka011,
Welcome to the community! :)
Just want to know if you have also tried using other Windows 10 PC/laptop (that has the latest Windows 10 updates as well) to further isolate the problem?
I look forward to your response.

I too am having issues connecting through the ProSafe VPN client (6.12.001) after my computer updated over the weekend.....
The connection problems persist on Lenovo Thinkpad W520, 4 years old.
Meanwhile,, I did try it on the desktop running Windows 10, and it did not connect -> but I did not go through all the steps listed like with the laptop, as it demands a lot of time at this point.
Is there a success case with all recent Windows 10 updates installed within a past week than can connect using NetGear ProSafe VPN client 6.12.001?
Thank you,
Jelena
Any updates to this? I've got two laptops with Windows 10 where the VPN client fails to connect now after the updates last week. I've tried reinstalling, several configuration changes with no luck. Could this be related to any SHA1 updates where they got disabled? It appears by NETGEAR SRX-5308 still requires SHA-1 regardless of the algorithm.
Same here, can't connect anymore with Windows 10 PC, other Windows 7 PC still working fine.
I noticed on the Windows 10 machine that the Authentication and Encryption Lifetime parameters had been reset to factory defaults. I set those correctly as they are on the Win 7 machine, but no success. Please help, anybody.

Welcome to the community! :)
Is the Windows firewall or any anti-virus enabled on your Windows 10 PC? If yes, kindly disable it then check if you are able to open the tunnel.

NETGEAR Community TeamTurned off Windows firewall and disabled AVG antivirus, no change.
Tunnel was in daily use and working fine until the latest round of Windows 10 updates.
I searched for installed updates between 12/18 and 12/20 and uninstalled Windows security updates:
KB3116900
KB3124200
KB3119147
None helped.
There were also what seems like hundreds of Microsoft Office updates that installed on 12/18. It would be a big effort to roll those back.
See my original note: Windows firewall is disabled. I disabled Avast antivirus and tried again, still the same problem. Note that this issue appeared only after the latest Windows 10 update, now almost 2 weeks ago.
