      Hi,

      I am having some difficulty creating a site to site VPN using IPSec. Is there any way I can create a site to site VPN with L2TP between a pfSense and a Draytek Vigor? I see that L2TP is listed on the DrayTek, however it is named 'L2TP with IPSec Policy'. Does LT2P still use phase 1 and phase 2 to initiate the VPN tunnel?

      Regards,

      Jonathan.

        pfSense to Draytek IPSec VPN
        IPsec tunnel established but no traffic - SOLVED!
        IPSec VPN between pfSense 2.x and DrayTek Vigor 2910

        Often made failures:

        • On both sides must be different IP ranges or networks
          192.168.1.0/24 - 192.168.2.0/24 (255.255.255.0)
        • pfSense aggressive mode instead of main mode
          Less secure but mostly good working
        • using MD5 and DES on both sides
          SHA1 was over long time failing on the DrayTek side
