VPN L2TP with Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS

[gmastromatteo]

Hi
i am not able to connect to our meraki cisco with my ubuntu desktop. I've followed the instruction on this page https://documentation.meraki.com/MX/Client_VPN/Client_VPN_OS_Configuration
and
https://github.com/nm-l2tp/NetworkManager-l2tp#issue-with-not-stopping-system-xl2tpd-service
If requested I can share the logs .
please let me know
thanks to all
gianni

I'm guessing it is an issue with the strongSwan Cisco Unity plugin, see:

Did you attach something with your email reply? I don't see what you did to configure your VPN connection.

I think I will need the logs, also which Ubuntu version are you using?

I would recommend using the newer version of network-manager-l2tp from:

Ciao Douglas to be honest I also followed this procedure coming from the meraki community. It works fine for my Ubuntu 20.04.2 TLS. thanks again best regards gianni 1. Update and clean up the machine first sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade sudo reboot# Wait for reboot, log back in sudo apt autoremove 2. Install VPN Software sudo apt-get install strongswan xl2tpd net-tools sudo apt-get install network-manager-l2tp network-manager-l2tp-gnome sudo apt-get install network-manager-strongswan sudo reboot 3. After reboot, Turn off the L2TP Server, we only want the client sudo service xl2tpd stop sudo systemctl disable xl2tpd 4.
