PfSense 2.0.2 L2TP

bernikm

Hi

We're trying to establish L2TP VPN for our clients to connect via pfSense to local network.
PPTP work great, but we're having problems with L2TP configuration. We used this tutorial http://thepracticalsysadmin.com/setting-up-an-l2tp-vpn-with-pfsense/
It seems that client just doesn't connect. It looks like there must be some kind of a bug on pfSense 2 ?
Any ideas?

L2TP is purely L2TP, you're likely wanting L2TP+IPsec, which is not supported at this time in any version.

Thank you. So the only way to establish Client-Server VPN is to use PPTP or SSL VPN on pfSense ? L2TP will not work ?

PPTP is considered broken.

So your options for roadwarriors would be OpenVPN or IPsec (note: Xauth + IKEv1, not IKEv2 or L2TP/IPsec)

Thanks ! Any news when L2TP/IPsec will be supported on pfSense ?

Also wondering when this will be available. Been looking forward to this feature as a replacement for PPTP VPN. Slightly disappointed when i learned that L2TP+IPSEC was not supported.
