Hello Sir,

I am not getting when I am adding leftsubnet and leftsourceip in vim
/etc/ipsec.d/l2tp-psk.conf file then client can not make VPN connection
established why this happened??? Other than this two parameter when I am
tring to connect in VPN connection it is established successfully But from
server side there is no route defined for network route so from server I
cannot ping to client and in client route is automatically define with
network so I can ping to server from client.

My server side route are as this.

route -n
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use
Iface
192.168.5.60    0.0.0.0         255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 ppp0
192.168.5.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
192.168.1.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth1
0.0.0.0         192.168.1.254   0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth1

In my network all port are allowed firewall is not blocking anything in my
network.
