The new home for DPC. This repo replaces the PowerON Platforms AOVPN DPC Client with a new, open source and free to use version.
Microsoft AOVPN is a VPN technology backed into Windows 10 and 11. It enables a (mostly) seamless connection either from boot or from login, enabling users to forget about remote connectivity and concentrate on their jobs.
AOVPN can be managed natively within Windows using an XML configuration which is then 'injected' into the Windows Configuration Service Provider (CSP). This is clunky, error prone and doesn't scale well or enable profile upgrades
Microsoft provide an configuration interface for Intune however this has its own issues including bugs, missing features and license requirements.
DPC attempts to solve these issues with features including:
- Support for Active Directory GPOs
- Built-in support for configuration changes
- Error checking and profile misconfiguration identification
- Limited FQDN resolution
- Dynamic support for excluding M365 IPs in Force Tunnel
- Monitoring of VPN State
- Old VPN Profile Cleanup
- Documentation for all settings
If your organisation in looking for direct access to the DPC development team, prioritised assistance and support then please reach out to dpc@darcy.org.uk and we can discuss your requirements
Hang out and chat with us on the MS Remote Access UG Discord server if its a more general question or AOVPN related.

Please note that this script will not delete any previously added settings as such it is strongly recommended that an empty GPO is used
