Simple L2TP/IPsec server not working (openswan, xl2tpd, Ubuntu, Windows)

view story
linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – I configured openswan and xl2tpd on an Ubuntu 12.04 server (on EC2) by following various tutorials/documentation which seem to largely say the same things, but most recently this one. However, my attempts to connect from Windows (which I configured with the shared secret) fail. I see the initial packets coming in: $ sudo tshark -n -i eth0 port 4500 or port 500 or port 1701 tshark: Lua: Error during loading: [string "/usr/share/wireshark/init.lua"]:45: dofile has been disabled Running as user "root" and group "root". This could be dangerous. Capturing on eth0 1135.926321 64.236.139.254 -&gt (HowTos)

Running as user "root" and group "root".

This setup will allow you to login to your own Ubuntu VPN server using your Iphone's default IOS VPN settings.

Install the necessary packages. sudo apt-get install openswan openswan-modules-source ppp xl2tpd

(you may not need the openswan-modules-source, someone want to test that and let me know?)

Using the following setup:

192.168.1.22 Ubuntu Server IP Address 192.168.1.1 Gateway Internal I

Hi,

Since I upgraded to opensuse 11.2 (kernel 2.6.31) I have not been able to connect anymore to our VPN using openswan/xl2tpd. Searching the net for that, I saw that other distros with kernel 2.6.31 (eg. Ubuntu 9.10, fedora 12) also have had similar problems. I tried to use openswan 2.6.24rc3 (I compiled OK), but it still does not work.

int _interfaceNumber; string _pcapPath;

Process tshark = new Process(); tshark.StartInfo.FileName = _tshark; tshark.StartInfo.Arguments = string.Format(" -i " + _interfaceNumbe

I've configured a 3G IP Gateway of mine to connect using IKE Phase 1 Aggressive Mode with PSK to my openswan installation running on Ubuntu server 12.04.
