Ever since I upgraded to 1809, VPN has been broken for me. I just can't get it to work properly, IKEv2 is completely broken. Microsoft probably knows that.

Running 1809

When my home WiFi is connected Windscribe is trying to connect....IKEv2

When Windscribe is connected my home WiFi is disconnected

When both are connected I can't watch movies on TEATV

So I just stop Windscribe and watch movies through my home WiFi

Better revert it back to 1803.
That's the only thing wrong with it. I researched it and people said that Intel needs to update their Wifi drivers. And it's true. The drivers on their website are all for 1803. I remember having the same issue with 1803 when it was new. I will just wait for the new drivers.

Then, this will not be a good news for Windscribe and its users. Mind you, the vendor just pushed very hard, i mean very very hard to enlist lifetime subscribers.

Only IKEv2 is broken. OpenVPN via UDP and TCP work fine which is the default. But IKEv2 is incredible, the speed and ping of nearby servers is almost like my regular Internet connection and connections are stable. Microsoft is even struggling to make it work on 1803. There's nothing we can do until Intel updates the drivers.

I'm having hard time as well to keep connection running with inbuilt Ikev2 in 1809 and config from windscribe, had same problems in 1803 as well. Definately not servers fault, because works perfectly with strongswan on android. Tried up till now almost every possible solution on Win.

IKEv2 just failed here, few KMs from where Windscribe HQ is located. Server contected was in Europe.
I noticed that it has installed its own network adapter driver on user's machine.
