Ubuntu Server 12.04 IPSec/L2TP VPN Server w/ Two NICs

http://serverfault.com – I'm trying to setup a Ubuntu 12.04 IPSec/L2TP VPN server and have gotten caught in a snag. The LAN that I want to have access to through the VPN is in one subnet and I have NO access to any of the firewalls or even a public IP. I am trying to circumvent this by adding a second NIC. The second NIC is directly connected to the internet with a public and static IP address. The VPN clients will connect through the second NIC. How can I have all traffic that is put through the IPSec VPN be sent to the second NIC? Visually: [Internet]=======[NIC2 (WAN)]==[Ubuntu Server]==[NIC1 (LAN)]======Target Su (HowTos)

Hello everybody !

I'm registered to this forum for explain my problem with the L2TP protocol.

I use Ubuntu 11.10 and I have Internet by a WiFi Hotspot. But a lot of ports are blocked. (FTP, SIP and other...). Therefore, I need to bypass the firewall of the hotspot. I'm suscribed to hidemynet, and I started to configure the VPN.

I need to setup L2TP/IPPSEC on CentOS 5.5. I have installed IPSEC ( 2.6.21-5.el5_4.2) from CentOS 5 and l2tpd (0.69-12jdl) from Damion de Soto. Now I need to know the commands to get everything talking to each other.

This is my home server so it only has on NIC that is attached to the my local home network.

I'm trying to get an IPSec VPN set up on my Debian home server, so that I can access my home network and browse without having my internet filtered by my college network, and so that I can perform maintenance on my home network from college as needed. I set up my server by following this link, and when I try to connect to it via Mac OS X 10.7.4, it will say "The L2TP-VPN server did not respond.

I have to say I am not a system admin but I had to setup the development environment in my company and I ran into many issues and after searching for many hours I hope somebody can help me out here!

Hello,

Just made a clean install of Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit server to use as a router/firewall and misc. services.

So far it is pretty basic and up and running. But I am completely stuck on what I thought was a trivial problem, but I've been unable to solve it.

For some reason I can't get IPSec passthrough to work with iptables.

I'm currently at my wits end trying to configure an L2TP over IPSec VPN connection on my Debian using openswan and xl2tp box connecting to a server of unknown configuration.

I have a virtual Ubuntu server running on Vagrant. I need to run VPNC to connect into my database server for development, but when I run the configuration that I have, I don't get any traffic to my server over the VPN.
