Hi, I have a dell xps laptop with OpenBsd 6.8 running. I want to connect to an IKEv1 L2TP VPN Server.
I followed the steps on https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq17.html#clientikev1 and /usr/local/share/doc/pkg-readmes/xl2tpd I created the following config files /etc/ipsec.conf ================ ike esp from $IP1 to $IP2 peer $VPNSERVER \ main auth hmac-sha1 enc aes-128 group modp2048 \ quick auth hmac-sha1 enc aes-128 \ psk my-pre-shared-secret /etc/xl2tpd/x2ltpd.conf ====================== [global] debug avp = yes debug network = yes debug state = yes debug tunnel = yes auth file = /etc/ppp/pap-secrets port = 1701 [lac l2tp] lns = vpn_server_ip ppp debug = yes pppoptfile = /etc/ppp/options.l2tp require authentication = yes require pap = yes require chap = no length bit = yes /etc/ppp/options.l2tp ============ ipcp-accept-local ipcp-accept-remote refuse-eap refuse-mschap-v2 noccp noauth idle 1800 mtu 1410 mru 1410 connect-delay 5000 usepeerdns defaultroute debug lock netmask 255.255.255.0 user myuser password mypwd /etc/ppp/pap-secrets myuser * mypwd * I added an interface ppp0. and started isakmpd, xl2tpd ipsecctl -sa show flows and SAD's But, when i try to connect via 'echo c l2tp | doas tee /var/run/xl2tpd/l2tp-control' the /var/log/daemon show only Dec 30 23:47:20 2147NFS xl2tpd[1160]: Connecting to host $VPNSERVER, port 1701 Dec 30 23:47:51 2147NFS xl2tpd[1160]: Maximum retries exceeded for tunnel 113. Closing. Dec 30 23:47:51 2147NFS xl2tpd[1160]: Connection 0 closed to VPNSERVERIP, port 1701 (Timeout) I would expect to see more logging, but there is no pppd logging. Looks like the process won't start. Is this maybe the issue here? Any hint how I can enable more logging? Or do you see any mistake in my config pasted above. Thanks Marko
