Windows 8.1 - Error Connecting to VPN

Error 850: The Extensible Authentication Protocol type required for authentication


When replacing my old work computer to the Surface Pro 3 I had to setup my VPN connections from scratch again. After following my usual instructions I still couldn´t connect but received the above error message.

The solution turned out to be to check the "Microsoft CHAP Version 2..." in the properties of the VPN connection as detailed in this more detailed post.
