I was able to allow an incoming VPN connection in Windows 8. Since updating to 8.1, I can't find any way of doing so.
As an example, this guide used to work, but now, none of the things are where they say they are.
Any ideas?

Right solved it. And Microsoft, if you're reading this I am not impressed.
Go to "Network and Internet" from Control panel, then "Network and sharing center".
Click "Change adapter settings".
The next step is the moronic one.
Press the Alt key. You may have to press it twice, it doesn't always do what says which is to MAKE THE MENU BAR APPEAR. The menu bar will also disappear if you switch away from the window, if for example you are writing these instructions in a separate browser window.
From the menu bar you can select "New incoming connection" from the file menu, and from that point you can follow the tutorial above.
in addition to make menu bar appear. : if you see the organise button: click and select Layout. activate menu or just press ALT + F (both will disable the moronic step) – None – 2014-08-10T10:53:13.137

Which part is no longer present/doesn't work? – mbrownnyc – 2013-11-25T22:02:52.863
Any of it. The network connections dialog is different and no longer has a menu bar for example. If it helps, I'd just like a set of steps to enable an incoming connection on Windows 8.1. I've been googling around and there seems there was some sort of change, but no answers yet :/ – Ian – 2013-11-26T14:49:40.203
