Re: l2tpd, FreeS/WAN and Windows

[norbert wegener]

Although I did not yet have the time to set an l2tpd/ipsec connection, I also want to say great work to Jacco. This is the first complete description on how to set up such connections.

On http://www.jacco2.dds.nl/networking/freeswan-l2tp.html
Jacco states, that the authors of l2tpd already use it in a commercial setting.
Has someone experience with the stability of that l2tpd/ipsec in a commercial environment?

Thanks for an anser
Norbert

I am testing l2tpd with FreeS/WAN and various Windows versions.
If you are interested, I have written some documentation available at:

Jacco,

Excellent work!  On my own, through "option bingo" I was able to get so
far as to get FreeS/WAN working with certificates and attempting to make
the L2TP connection.  I used both l2tpd and l2tpd-rp with no success --
until reading your documentation!  Thanks so much for putting together
such thorough documentation.

I'd already gotten PPTP working (yes, I did all the necessary patching
to get pppd 2.4.1 using MPPE and MSCHAP, as well as setting up PoPToP)
... but FreeS/WAN and L2TP I just couldn't figure out.

I'm now fully connected using WinXP Home's built-in L2TP IPSEC VPN and
Linux running FreeS/WAN and l2tpd-rp.

Now, if I could only figure out why WinXP Home doesn't want to play nice
with my Samba 2.2.3 installation ...
