Mon Mar 04, 2019 1:57 pm

After upgrade from ROS 6.43.12 to 6.44 - I have lost possibility co connect to my MT with L2TP (with preshared key) VPN. I was changing firewall settings, trying other.... but after downgrade to 6.43.12 - IT WORKS AGAIN. So something is BAD with ROS 6.44 and L2TP VPN ! MikroTik team - please repir that ROS 6.44 BUG.

I found that simply disabling and re-enabling the L2TP server resolved the problem.

/interface l2tp-server server set enabled=no
/interface l2tp-server server set enabled=yes

Works like a charm for me. What did the log say?
Also did you try a reboot again after the upgrade? I always reboot twice after a upgrade. Once for the upgrade and another for the firmware. If there was a issue with this during the first boot I would not have noticed.

Strange behavior, but this works for me!

@emils nice that this problem is allready known.

in my case below is the relevant part of the config :
/ip pool
add name=dyn-vpn ranges=192.168.88.2-192.168.88.19

/ppp profile
add change-tcp-mss=yes dns-server=192.168.88.1 local-address=192.168.88.1 \
    name=ppp-in only-one=no remote-address=dyn-vpn use-encryption=required \
    use-ipv6=no use-mpls=no

/interface l2tp-server server
set allow-fast-path=yes authentication=mschap2 default-profile=ppp-in enabled=yes ipsec-secret=SERVERPASS max-mru=1460 max-mtu=1460 use-ipsec=yes

/ppp secret
add name=dynuser1 password=DYNUSER1PASS profile=ppp-in
this creates a dynamic ipsec peer as in the documentation ( https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Interface/L2TP )
It worked nice until ros 6.43.12 but in 6.44 I get "parsing packet failed, possible cause: wrong password"

Re: ROS 6.44 - VPN L2TP not working

that was FAST ! Emils thanks for your help !!!

it seems the way dynamic peer configuration from L2TP server were added to the peers menu changed between 6.43.12 and 6.44
dynamic peers take precedence BEFORE static peer entries ...

In my case there was a static default PEER with a password used by all my roadwarrior clients.
The dynamic peer (from the L2TP server entry) had a typo in the password but that never was used.
until now ...

changed the password and all my clients are working again !

kudos to support, extra kudos to emils

thanks

If I upgrade to 6.44.1 will it fix the issue without changing the config?

Upgrading 6.44.1 broke my firewall forwarding chains.

I have the same problem. I reverted it with version 6.43.13 LT and L2TP with ipsec works again ! The routerboard is RB750Gr3 !
Second problem - RB4011 as l2tp / ipsec client does not connect to hAP AC2. If I remove the tick for using ipsec the router establish the connection without encoding, although hAP AC2 /server side/ is using IPSEC - have the tick use ipsec ! .

Thanks for posting the way to resolve your problem. I also had the same issue (mismatch of shared secrets between IPSEC and L2TP server identities), using the correct pre-shared key works as a charm.

Just replace your IPsec "Secret" into L2TP server configuration "IPsec Secret" and it will work. I had the same trouble and I solved it!

I've got this right after a leap upgrade from 6.43.x to 6.46.4 while trying VPN clients to connect upgraded router:
parsing packet failed, possible cause: wrong password
And of course I've got all my L2TP connections dropped and could not be established.
So due to your kind replies I've fixed it few minutes ago as follows:

PPP-->Interface-->L2TP Server
Use ipsec = yes
IPsec Secret = [put old or new password]

I put the new one so I have had to update it on all devices connecting to the router via L2TP


thats all!

watching a " wrong password" msg anyway. There's problem not from any clients. Only over some providers.
