We have Windows Server 2008 R2 with RRAS. Windows clients connect just fine. Tried to add a new l2tp-ou1 interface, setting up: IP, username, password, IPSec secret. Everything else is default (tried different Mikrotik devices, with default config, stable and long-term). Doesn’t work. There are messages “NO-PROPOSAL-CHOSEN” and “failed to bind to ::[500] Bad file descriptor” - both are vague.
No proposal chosen happens when router and remote device can’t agree on IPSec config. Enable more verbose logging for IPSec (in System-Logging) and you should be able to find details. The other one I’m not sure about, but I think I saw somewhere in forum that it happens when IPv6 package is not active. Which could make sense, because :: is IPv6 address.
Hello. I have more or less the same problem. Trying to connect my hAP AC router as a client to a L2TP Windows Server with real IP address. Tried to use the PPP Add Interface menu to add just a l2tp-out2 interface where I filled a destination address, username and password, IPSec secret as well. And with these settings there were no success to establish connection with Mikrotik log message ‘l2tp-out2: terminating… session closed’.
But I read your second message here thet you solved a problem using the site-to-site connection type am I right? Tried to do so and no success too.
