Summary
The documentation for troubleshooting Azure point-to-site VPN connections is heavily Windows-centric. Most troubleshooting steps, error messages, and solutions reference Windows-specific tools (Certificate Manager, mmc.exe, registry edits, Device Manager), PowerShell commands, and Windows file paths. There are no examples or guidance for Linux or macOS VPN clients, nor are equivalent troubleshooting steps provided for non-Windows platforms. This creates friction for users on Linux or macOS, who may encounter similar issues but lack documentation support.
Recommendations
- Add troubleshooting sections for Linux and macOS VPN clients, including common error messages and solutions.
- Provide equivalent commands and file paths for certificate management and VPN configuration on Linux/macOS (e.g., using OpenVPN, NetworkManager, strongSwan, or native tools).
- Include Linux/macOS examples for checking certificate installation, DNS resolution, and network connectivity.
- Where PowerShell or Windows registry edits are mentioned, offer alternative steps for Linux/macOS (such as editing configuration files or using system utilities).
- Clearly indicate which issues are Windows-only and which are cross-platform, to help users quickly identify relevant guidance.
