    Ensure that the correct policies are enabled:

    Open gpedit.msc.

    Navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Device Guard.

    Find "Turn On Virtualization Based Security".

    Make sure it is set to Enabled.

    Under options, verify that "Secure Boot" and "DMA Protection" are enabled as needed.

    In the VPN connection properties, switch to the Security tab, set the VPN type to Layer 2 Tunnelling Protocol over IPsec (L2TP/IPsec), and ensure the pre-shared key has been entered correctly.
