IPSec/L2TP for Mac OS X

  • A

    Hello folks,

    here my first message, please don't be too rude with me! :)

    I'm trying to get IPSec/L2TP VPN working with as a Mac OS X as client.

    Here a part an overview of my setup:

    Here what happens:

    • Phase 1, 2 are ok

    • Mac OS try to reach the L2TP (mpd4) server using the pf_WAN IP address, through the IPSec tunnel
    • L2TP server respond to Mac using public_IP, but no through the IPSec tunnel

    Indeed, when I run tcpdump in pfSense on em0 (WAN interface) and port 1701, all I can see is:

    So, I guess there is an issue with my IPSec configuration, probably about the policy. But after made a lots of test, I'm not able to find the good configuration.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    I reply to myself.

    The issue with pfSense is the lack of control on how the SPD are generated. I succeeded to get my initial setup with a standard FreeBSD using ipsec-tools (aka Racoon 1) and MPD5.

    Just in case, don't loose your time trying to use raccoon 2, almost required options are not yet implemented.
