OMG, how could they say that?, all our iMacs and Macbook pros are with BigSur, I am not going to upgrade all of them due to the lack of competence from Apple ...

thanks for the recommendation, it is too expensive for all the users. Do you mean that Apple will not fix it with some upgrade?

The L2TP failure is a big error, it will make BigSur useless

Not a great solution for those of us with only l2tp VPNs.

I am reviewing the steps to perform in order to modify my Mikrotik to run an OpenVPN Server, otherwise we will not be able to work remotely

I cross my fingers!

Same problem

Has anyone found a way to go back to 11.7.1 or 11.6?

Time machine with backups broke down to the heap

It's not for nothing

the fact of the matter is that this is not a mistake, but a planned diversion. Pure swinishness

Any news about 11.7.3 delivery? big impact in my company, there is not any MacOs VPN client tool suitable for keeping L2TP over IPsec so planning to move to OpenVPN as soon as possible.

Dear Apple! It's time to make a decision:

1. You decide that sha1 is dead (while alive everywhere except 11.7.2)

2. Release 11.7.3 to fix it

Please just let us know what you have decided

I just updated to 11.7.3 / Macbook 12" 2015. And our VPN L2TP does NOT work yet. This update didn't help me.

Another iMac 2015 with Monterrey works fine with this L2TP VPN.
