Configuring Routerboard as L2TP client
Posted: Tue Feb 25, 2014 1:31 am
Hello,
I have an account with StrongVPN that supports L2TP access.
I have the following information:
Server Address (aka Host Name or Internet Address): vpn-sf98.reliablehosting.com
Login (username/account name): vpn123 (for example only)
Password: abcdefgh (for example only)
L2TP key (shared secret): ABCDEFGHE5ZdYB3 (for example only)
Server Location: United States, San Francisco
Server IP: 192.200.144.58 (This can also be used in place of Server Address)
This information works GREAT with Windows 7 VPN client. However I can't seem to set this up with MikroTik's L2TP client. I don't think I have to use IPSEC because in Windows 7 client it doesn't ask for this information. It asks only for username, password, pre-shared key for authentication and server address.
When I try to connect with MikroTik L2TP client, it just sits and does nothing. I have tried PPTP and that works.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated!
