Our Windows 2019 Version 1809 (OS Build 17763.53.29) RRAS VPN servers are still accepting requests over TLS 1.0 & 1.1, even after applying the following changes this week. Can someone please shed some light on what could be the reason behind this? Please refer to the screenshot attached to this post, where you will see how we have created the registry entries to disable TLS 1.0 & 1.1. Step 1: Navigate to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols". Create a key named "TLS 1.1" with two DWORDs for both TLS 1.0 & 1.1: "DisabledByDefault=1" & "Enabled=0". Similarly, create a key named "TLS 1.0" with two DWORDs for each protocol, "DisabledByDefault=1" & "Enabled=0". Step 2: Execute the commands Disable-TlsCipherSuite -Name "TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA" and Disable-TlsCipherSuite -Name "TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA". Reference: Microsoft Docs on TLS Registry Settings After completing the change request (CR), when I check to see if TLS 1.0 & 1.1 are still enabled, it appears that they are. User's image

    I always use this simple tool, that is tried and true:

    Just checking.. but you did reboot after making the changes right? (I know you did, but had to check!).
