Microsoft announced the deprecation of PPTP and L2TP in future Windows Server versions, citing security limitations (e.g., PPTP susceptibility to offline brute-force and L2TP requiring properly configured IPsec), and recommends transitioning to SSTP and IKEv2 for stronger encryption, better performance, and reliability; future RRAS servers will stop accepting incoming PPTP/L2TP connections while admins are given time and guidance to migrate.
