[Openswan Users] Openswan Xl2tpd error when connecting VPN on

[Mateen Fugawala]

The static ip on my fedora VM is the same as my outside network which is the
same network with the ADSL router.  If I choose a different subnet will that
cause any communication breakdown with the two networks?

Mateen.

You cannot use the same subnet range to connect to the ipsec server as the
range your l2tp/ipsec assigned address range gives you. In other words, the
outside of your tunnel cannot be the same as the inside of your tunnel.
