Can't just set it as a metered connection?

Hi Shimshey<br />
<br />
That would require a user interaction and I want it configured by default.<br />
<br />
Kind regards<br />

<div>
Configured &quot;where?&quot; if not by user interaction?
</div>


<div>
What we do: decide whether the connection is LAN or WAN (=VPN) by looking at the ping latency and simply disable windows update when not inside the LAN. This can be scripted and requires no user interaction.

Hi<br />
<br />
I'm looking for a way to prevent Windows 10 from downloading updates over a VPN connection, what is the most efficient way to configure the VPN connection as metered? Is it possible to configure a block on an IP range in WSUS?<br />
<br />
Kind regards<br />

Block Windows 10 updates over VPN

Windows 10 is a personal computer operating system featuring the "universal application architecture" (UAP); apps can be designed to run across multiple devices with nearly identical code, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub and HoloLens. Windows 10 also includes a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, the Microsoft Edge web browser, support for fingerprint and face recognition login, voice-based search (Cortana), new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.

Windows 10

This topic area includes legacy versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000: Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions including Windows Mobile.

Windows OS

Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), previously known as Software Update Services (SUS), is a computer program developed by Microsoft that enables administrators to manage the distribution of updates and hotfixes released for Microsoft products to computers.

WSUS

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.
