      Hi all,

      I have a cloud based pfsense installation.

      The hosting service will not give me more than two NICs for my virtual server(WAN and LAN).

      If I read the pfSense documentation correctly, L2TP requires a unique public IP and ethernet interface. Is this correct?

      Is there any other way to make this work?

      I have IPSec site to site connections working but hoping to use L2TP for my road warrior/mobile users.

      Thanks!

          I have same issue and i find out workaround:
          Create NAT rule on WAN interface from alias IP to WAN IP for UDP 1701
          Good luck
