Hello ,

Since the last update ( November ) of Kaspersky VPN where most of the region were greyed / not supported anymore , my VPN started to act weirdly.
I have actually Kaspersky Premium ( 1 device / 1 year ) so I have unlimited VPN , so here are my problems :
- VPN keeps disconnecting for no reason , no matter the country because I tried several different ones and the issue is still the same .
- Each time the VPN tries to reconnect , it keeps creating a new Local Area Connection (WG Nt Adapter) , now it's the 73rd time it has created a new Local Area Connection.
- The VPN interface is slow to react when I turn off the VPN the grey switch slider thing takes like 5 sec to turn off or sometimes I have to minimize the interface for it to be effective.


Any help would be gladly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello @nonanche92000, 

Welcome!

From Kaspersky's @Danila T.: 

• This is due to an update of the VPN infrastructure. 
• All VPN users will see a new agreement in the app which they need to accept.
• The number of available VPN servers will change from ~105 to ~85, most common servers will remain. The router feature, protocol selection and dual VPN options will disappear. We’re continuing to expand coverage and add new features in upcoming updates.

Hello ,

I understand this , so from my previous post yesterday, it has recreated more than 100 new Local Area Connection, it's around 173 now, in the windows event viewer there is an error ID 4311 NetBt it says :

"Initialization failed because the device driver could not be created. Use the string "000000000100320000000000D71000C0110100009A0000C057000000000000000000000000000000000" to identify the interface for which initialization failed. This string represents the MAC address of the failing interface or the globally unique identifier (GUID) if NetBT was unable to map the GUID to the MAC address. If neither the MAC address nor the GUID is available, the string represents a cluster device name."

What does this means ?

Thank you .

Is your network driver up-to-date 🤔 ?

And also more than 256 error in 24 hours related to the DNS ,  error 1014 DNS client events there are several things in the error  :

- teredo.ipv6.microsoft.com
- isatap.home ( lots of it )
- dc1.ksn.kaspersky-labs.com
- dc1-file.ksn.kaspersky-labs.com
- wpad.home

You could eventually try to temporary swtich to Cloudflare DNS.
If no fix please contact Kapsersky Technical Support , for privacy reasons we don't request system Logs.

Hi nonanche9200,

Please understand that this is a problem at Kaspersky's end caused entirely by an external service migration i.e the integration of PureVPN's services into Kaspersky VPN's architecture.

No amount of tinkering with your systems configuration will fix the issue as there is likely nothing wrong with you system's configuration. 

You should have received a notification about this via email, but if not I have pasted it below for you.

The only thing to do is to return your configuration settings back to where they were and ... wait. 

It has been 7 days for me now, but it is better each day.

You may wish to lodge a support ticket as this will give Kaspersky information on how widespread the issue is and what kind of problems are most common amongst users.

*

The error message you posted: "error ID 4311 NetBt it says : "Initialization failed because the device driver could not be created." is a Windows message about its native networking component (NetBT) failing to initialize because of a virtual network adapter that is being created and destroyed repeatedly.

This is almost certainly the Kaspersky VPN WG Nt Adapter getting stuck in a loop creating a virtual adapter, failing, aborting, and repeating and perhaps failing to clean up perfectly, leaving ghost entries or creating new ones each time.

This is why you have 173 (or more now) new Local Area Connection connections.

Again there is nothing wrong at your end and you can't fix it, it would be like taking your car to a mechanic because a major road has been blocked by an earth slide.

*

The 256 DNS errors you've had in the last 24 hours are also related to the Kaspersky VPN issues, you can't change this either.

Open a command prompt and type in:

ping 1.1.1.1 <Enter>

and ping 8.8.8.8 <Enter>

You should get normal round trip times of around 10 to 80 ms or so. This will show there is nothing wrong with your DNS settings or the Cloudfare and Google DNS servers. 
 

I hope this helps. 

Ironically I had to type this out twice because when I posted it the first time the VPN cut out! 🙄

Hello! 

Can you please gather some traces for developers?
1) GSI (https://support.kaspersky.com/common/diagnostics/3632)
2) Our traces (C:\ProgramData\Kaspersky Lab\KSDE5.23\Traces)
3) WireShark traces
4) System logs with error you've mentioned

Thank you in advance!

I have been connecting with support for almost 3 month now with no solution. They simply said it can't connect to my internet provider. The things is, it is okey and fine before the migrate happened. They give solution of having to have different WIFI connection, hotspot and such. for me it is unacceptable. My ethernet connection is stable and can be used with VPN before the migrate happened. Now it keep looping to find internet connection while i can do other thing well with my ethernet stable connection. And I am a kaspersky plus user means i have premium and unlimited but useless for 3 month now.

Hello @Eela_Yunus

Judging by your request, you have been asked for logs to diagnose problems that you have not sent. It is impossible to analyze the problem without logs.

Your request was submitted at the end of December. Unfortunately, the logs that were collected were not accurate. Therefore, we have asked you to please re-submit them.

Confirming the issue is still not resolved, at least on my version of VPN
Kaspersky VPN version 21.24.8.522-2 running on a Windows 11 x64 Build 26200 VM.

 The tunnel adapter keeps on popping On & Off leading to messages in Windows Event Viewer : NetBT ID 4311.

Hello @TopMiaww
Thank you for the information!

*Please don't post the same information to multiple topics, it forces Community members to duplicate replies  -> is inefficient & a poor use of Forum resources*

1. Is the OS Windows 11 x64 Build 26200 VM - commercially released, not Insider preview, Beta, Canary or from the Developer channel? 

• Go to (Windows) Settings, System, About, scroll down to Windows Specifications - take a *screen-print*, paste that to Paint or any other image editor, save the file & upload it to your post here please? 

Thank you🙏
