[Openswan Users] Openswan Xl2tpd error when connecting VPN on

[Mateen Fugawala]

Also, here is my updated ipsec.conf config. I though this might be more simple than my earlier config.

c[root at fedoravm ~]# cat /etc/ipsec.conf
# /etc/ipsec.conf - Openswan IPsec configuration file

version 2.0

config setup
        nat_traversal=yes
        nhelpers=0
        protostack=netkey
        virtual_private=%v4:10.0.0.0/8,%v4:192.168.0.0/16,%v4:192.168.1.0/24
        oe=off

#include /etc/ipsec/ipsec.d/examples/no_oe.conf

conn L2TP-PSK
        authby=secret
        pfs=no
        auto=add
        keyingtries=3
        rekey=no
        ikelifetime=8h
        keylife=1h
        type=transport
        left=192.168.1.11
        leftprotoport=17/1701
        leftnexthop=192.168.1.1
        right=%any
        rightprotoport=17/0
        rightsubnet=vhost:%no,%priv

Hi,

Could we first see the Openswan logs after one of your connection attempts?  Usually it's in /var/log/secure or /var/log/auth.log.  This will help us to narrow down whether the problem is with Openswan or xl2tpd.
