Hello,
I am trying to set up a MikroTik router so that it connects to VPNGATE using L2TP.
According to VPNGATE’s web site, all you need is username and password and a pre-shared key. From their web site:
“You can quickly configure your L2TP/IPsec VPN Client by using the following parameters if you have already known how to set up.
IP Address / Hostname: You can obtain them in Public VPN Relay Servers List page.
Username: vpn, Password: vpn
Pre-shared Key (Secret): vpn”
In MikroTik I have tried: INTERFACES > ADD NEW > L2TP CLIENT and filled out Connect To, User and Password. I also have tried enabling “Use IPSEC” and filling in IPSEC secret. I am pretty sure however, that IPSEC secret is not the same as Pre-shared Key. Or is it?
It connects but it does not finish what it needs to do. I’m not sure where it is failing. I looked at logs but I can not figure out what exactly is happening.
Could I get some help here please. Thank you.
