@bbigford said in Does any one have a EdgeRouter 4 online and can test L2TP: Any insight on maybe why that worked? I've had issues with the default group on another manufacturer, but I wouldn't think 14 was default. It worked prior to changing to DH 14 on my iPhone. I had to add a proposal with DH 14 for Windows 10 to work.

@jaredbusch said in EdgeRouter L2TP VPN does not work with updated systems: @dbeato said in EdgeRouter L2TP VPN does not work with updated systems: Was this the bug you were referring to? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1526203 https://github.com/hwdsl2/setup-ipsec-vpn/issues/102 https://github.com/libreswan/libreswan/issues/140 Your first link is semi related. I have no idea wtf you are trying to prove with the second link. The third link is only tangently related, but a follow up post on that links to the actual kernel commits that are the problem. But I have no idea how to know what is what from that level of in depth detail. https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/838470/ The 2nd one deserved the WTF because is from 1/2017 so it is not related.

No problem!

@coliver said: Do VPN connections get created/torn down with every communication? Or are they persistent until the device disconnects? Normally neither. They are normally persistent until a certain amount of time, then they tear down when idle. Might be hours or days. That way they don't remain absolutely forever, but normally a very long time.

@gjacobse said: I was informed that he is about 20' from the router on Wireless, but that TWC is to be onsite today to setup / move the equipment and then he will be within 5' of it. Just hope it's not to close and overloads the wireless radio's.

We recently had to set up an L2TP tunnel for our apple devices, since the last iOS 10 update took PPTP out of the picture. It was a huge PITA too, because I didn't figure out for a while that the secondary tunnel wouldn't let me reuse existing user accounts in our Watchguard.... that was some fun trial and error. And the WG how-tos never specified anything about needing different user accounts. It sucks to do all the steps right and then get login errors... makes ya feel like an amateur.
