I am trying to connect to a public VPN from [VPNGate](http://www.vpngate.net/en/). However when I attempt to connect to a VPN from the list using MS-SSTP protocol I get the following error:

```
Error 868: The remote connection was not made because the name of the remote access server did not resolve.

```

If I open a command prompt and ping the address in question it resolves to the IP shown on the listing. If I configure the VPN using that IP address directly I still receive the error even though the name no longer needs to resolve.

This was working yesterday but it seems the VPN I was using has been removed from the list.

What is happening and how can I fix it?
