      Hi Ipsec experts

      I'm trying to setup a L2TP over IPSec VPN for android mobile clients.

      I've successfully configured & tested IPSec using PSK-XAUTH.
      However, I would like to use L2TP over IPSec

      I've reviewed the instructions here: https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/L2TP/IPsec_on_Android

      and whilst it appears easy, I'm getting an error when trying to follow the instruction to use "Transport" mode in Phase 2.

      The GUI returns:

      The following input errors were detected:

      Mobile IPsec only supports Tunnel mode.

      Can anyone shed light on what I'm doing wrong? or is this not yet a supported feature?

      I'm running 2.1.4-RELEASE (amd64)
      built on Thu Jun 26 15:46:25 EDT 2014
      FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE-p16

      Thanks for any advice!

      Ben

        L2TP+IPsec is not officially supported yet. It will be supported in 2.2.

        I have made it work for Android before on 2.1.x but I don't recall the specifics. I think I at least edited out that input validation you hit.
