Is it possible to use Always On VPN device tunnel on Windows 10 Pro

Question

Hi,

Always On VPN documentation says there is no requirement for Windows 10 Enterprise, however, the device tunnel setup documentation says it does require Enterprise.
Am I correct in thinking user tunnels only require Windows 10, and device tunnels require Enterprise?

I have managed to setup a device tunnel profile on my Windows 10 Pro machine, and using "rasphone" I can dial the connection, but it does NOT seem to connect automatically, and seems to disconnect automatically after a short while. I wonder if this is because of my Windows 10 edition?

Many thanks
James

Hi James,

Yes, you are right. Device tunnel requires windows 10 Enterprise or Education version 1809 or later.

For your reference:
