Always remember to use nmap and scan for open UDP ports once the firewall
is in place. Preferably scan from a client on the Internet, not from the
server itself.

E.g. nmap -sU 123.123.123.123. The L2TP daemon (UDP port 1701) should then
be listed as filtered. The only open ports should be UDP 500 (IKE) and
optionally UDP 4500 (NAT-T).
