Windows 10 – Getting at TCP/IP settings for VPN

Microsoft’s Windows 10 has at least one bug that was discovered very early in its development that was never fixed before release:  A VPN connection cannot be configured through the normal UI. The most common setting people have to change is to disable “Use default gateway on remote network.”

This setting can be changed on Windows 10 this way:

  1. Locate the proper RASPHONE.PBK file.
    - for ‘all users’ VPN’s:  %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk
    - for ‘current user’ VPN’s: %AppData%\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk
  2. Edit the proper RASPHONE.PBK file using notepad so IpPrioritizeRemote is 0
