Q: VPN using hotspot with ios 10 not working

I frequently work offsite and use my AT&T iPhone 6s to tether my Windows 10 Pro work tablet (ASUS Transformer T300CHI).  Although a lot of the places I work have Wifi, most do not allow VPN which I need to connect to my work server.  After the ios 10 update (I am on 10.0.1), I have not had issues tethering, but VPN no longer works.

 

The Windows 10 Pro built-in VPN on my tablet has an automatic configuration that appears to detect the type of configuration (IKEv2/PPTP/IPSec/L2TP, etc) and you just put in username and password.  According to my IT dept, the VPN connection in the office not only supports PPTP (which I understand has been disabled with ios 10) but also supports IKEv2 and L2TP/IPSec.  Regardless, I always left VPN setup on Windows 10 in Automatic.  I have tried selecting the type of connection but this has not worked either.  I typically get a "VPN tunnels failed" error

 

Any thoughts would be appreciated

iPhone 6s, iOS 10
