Windows 2016 Essentials with Let's Encrypt: SSTP VPN disconnecting.

Hello,

I followed this very good tutorial: https://server-essentials.com/support/get-a-free-lets-encrypt-certificate-anywhere-and-automatically-renew-it
And everything works fine except that I can use VPN with PPTP but not with SSTP as users connect but disconnect immediately with rasSstp event id 6 

The SSTP-based VPN connection to the remote access server was terminated because of a security check failure. Security settings on the remote access server do not match settings on this computer. Contact the system administrator of the remote access server and relay the following information: SHA1 Certificate Hash: %1 SHA256 Certificate Hash: %2

So I added the cross-signed intermediate certificate avalaible here (https://letsencrypt.org/certificates/) into the computer's "Intermediate Certification Authorities" on the server and on the client but the message remains the same.

How should I solve this?

Thanks a lot.

Xavier,

That should not happen. Are you sure that the VPN is setup correctly? Did you use the wizard on the Dashboard? PPtP should not be functional at all on a typical WSE 2016

Hello, 

Thanks for your answer.
I did install using the anywhere wizard and I confirm it is working with PPTP but SSTP connects and disconnect immediately.

Well, thanks but it is more likely a server side issue. 
I guess it is not validating the SSL certificate or the certificate use is not the good one (but I checked the hashes between the certificate store and the SSTP and they look the same, unless I am wrong).
