Title: L2TP details missing
Post by: wallet on Monday 06 August 2012, 04:21:40 pm
I have Community 2.5.1 and under VPN tab I am missing L2TP and VPN user.

All I have is OpenVPN, GW2GW and IPSEC.

Are these omitted in the community version or have I got a configuration issue?

Thankyou.

Add an IPSEC connection and use a pre-shared key.

Hello,

I think he is looking for the tab shown in this screenshot:
URL: endian.zendesk.com/entries/21129081-setup-of-a-vpn-with-ipsec-and-an-l2tp-tunnel

I'd also like to connect via L2TP from a Win7 Client to the Endian Community Firewall - not the other way round (Endian => L2TP-Server).

Is there any workaround to active the IPSEC Server in the community edition?

Many thanks in advance
Andreas

L2TP is there under the IPSEC tab.  L2TP uses IPSEC but with a Pre Shared Key.  Under the VPN select IPSEC then select  add host to net (or net to net) then under authentication select pre-shared key.  I can help you from there because I never got it to work.  I use L2TP on my windows server and allow the ipsec traffic thru the firewall.

Is this one that you added?  If so then try this page https://endian.zendesk.com/forums/20035028-virtual-private-network-vpn.  I am assuming you want to do host to net(work) and not net to net.

what are you running behind the firewall?  Is it a windows server?

Ok i just looked thru the link i gave you earlier.  It looks like L2TP is not natively supported in the Community edition.  So you have two options a full IPSEC setyp with certificates:
 https://endian.zendesk.com/entries/20274597-ipsec-vpn-how-to-create-a-roadwarrior-connection-shrewsoft
or using the built in windows L2TP (if you have a windows server).
I am currently using the windows L2TP passing the traffic thru the firewall so I can assist you with this.
I have yet to get the road warrior connection working. I have posted some question on this and other forums but haven't gotten a response.

Hi,

I have a solutation that is working with PPTP : (galaxy S3 and  with ICS, of course netbook Windows7)
I am using an old linksys (now cisco) wrt54gs, with firmware DD-WRT 2.4, with a minimum services activate on.
I work well, but i just wanted put this box out and replace it by the option in EFW.
As this is not possible in community version, i will rest on this configuration.
On EFW, Only rules for forward necessary port (TCP 1723) and protocol (GRE) in firewall rules

This is a very old an not a good security solution, but is working with the new smartphone ......... and i hope for new.

Many thanks for yours responses

Bests regards
