This has frustrated me for a month or so... I can get onto my work VPN
via the ShrewSoft client (ike and ike-qtgui) but it's not integrated
with NetworkManager (and overwrites /etc/resolv.conf, interfering with
it).
You have to resort to manual configuration of the dnsmasq instance

Title:
L2TP client support for PSK removed from 15.04/15.10
To manage notifications about this bug go to:
Finally got it to work after hours of fiddling.
l2tp connection with psk and xauth, configured via conffiles.
Ubuntu 15.10, strongswan 5.1.2-0ubuntu6.2
Had to remove package xl2tpd (1.3.6+dfsg-3) - crashed with segfault every time
while trying to connect.
Manually installed
strongSwan's NM plugin only supports IKEv2. IKEv1 and in particular L2TP
are not supported by that GUI (they could be configured via config files
though).

Thanks Tobias, unfortunately I've tried this multiple times using
multiple different guides on different versions of Ubuntu and have never
got this solution to work. I can never get a response to the
INFORMATIONAL_V1 request packet and the server complains that it's
receiving an unencrypted packet
I've also tried this in 15.10. It offers the PSK option now but still
only for IPSec as far as I can see. There doesn't seem to be any way of
setting up an L2TP connection. Can others confirm this?
Is there any way to escalate this to Canonical without signing up for
Enterprise support?

** Description changed:

- StrongSwan-network-manager shipped (1.3.0-2) doesn't support pre-shared
- keys (support added in 1.3.1) many users will not be able to connect to
+ Since OpenSwan has been completely removed from
n.b. over email Tobias, the developer of StrongSwan said to me:
"We have absolutely no intentions of ever adding support for L2TP (or
IKEv1 for that matter) to our NM plugin. So I doubt there will be any
traction on this issue (unless Canonical tracks back and readds the
removed
This begs 2 questions from my end:
1. How does the removal of such a critical VPN component get past QA?
2. How is it that the very vulnerable PPTP VPN is still readily available while
a more secure option gets tossed to the gutter?
Can anyone at Canonical please answer these questions?

The issue is still present in 15.10 as well.
** Summary changed:
- L2TP client support for PSK removed from 15.04
+ L2TP client support for PSK removed from 15.04/15.10
