Hello,

I have installed xl2tpd v1.2.7 (from epel repo) and compiled OpenSwan 2.6.33
on centos 5.5 i686 with 2.6.18 kernel. ( dedicated server on datacenter )

Then configured xl2tpd and openswan. Now I can connect from windows xp / 7
to my server and also I can resolve and ping sites but can not browse them !

I think it is not related to DNS entries, as I can ping hostname and it
resolves to the IP and pings too. Nslookup also work correctly.
But when I try to browse any site using firefox it stays on "Waiting for
..." status.

Here is my ipsec.conf :
---------------------------------------
version 2.0
config setup
        nat_traversal=yes
        virtual_private=%v4:10.0.0.0/8,%v4:192.168.0.0/16,%v4:172.16.0.0/12
        oe=off
        protostack=netkey

conn L2TP-PSK-NAT
        rightsubnet=vhost:%priv
        also=L2TP-PSK-noNAT

conn L2TP-PSK-noNAT
        authby=secret
        pfs=no
        auto=add
        keyingtries=3
        rekey=no
        ikelifetime=8h
        keylife=1h
        type=transport
        left=My.Server.IP.Address
        leftprotoport=17/1701
        right=%any
        rightprotoport=17/%any

---------------------------------------



And here the xl2tpd.conf :
---------------------------------------
[global]
ipsec saref = yes

[lns default]
ip range = 10.1.2.2-10.1.2.255
local ip = 10.1.2.1
refuse chap = yes
refuse pap = yes
require authentication = yes
ppp debug = yes
pppoptfile = /etc/ppp/options.xl2tpd
length bit = yes
---------------------------------------



And also here the options.xl2tpd :
---------------------------------------
require-mschap-v2
ms-dns 8.8.8.8
ms-dns 8.8.4.4
asyncmap 0
auth

It is also interesting point that when I comment "oe=off" , I can not
connect using windows xp client.
I tested this on 2 dedicated server and also 2 different clients .

Thank you.
