L2TP/IPSEC client behind NAT fw to ROS3..

Thu Jul 19, 2007 2:32 pm

Hi,

we have a very-typical configuration for "home" workers:

Home-Laptop (using private IP) -> Home-Router doing NAT -> Office Mikrotik having static public IP.

Now, the home users should be able to connect to the office by using L2TP/IPSEC (using windows xp), but I was not able to setup this configuration using ROS3beta10.

Can someone please post the required config for the Mikrotik side?

Thanks for any help here.

PS: We're using ROS3beta10, beacaue I think we need this new feature "NAT traversal" in the IPSec Peer settings, right?

Hm, so no answer here after one day means that this "feature" is not so easy to setup as it sounds?
Or it doesn't work at all?
I was thinking that this scenario is quite common out there, but is not...(?)

I have never gotten L2TP IPSec to work between windows and routeros. I believe it has to do with the certificates, ipsec configuration (not static ip = wont work most likely), ipsec policies, etc. You can use PPTP with no problems.

Thanks a lot for the reply.

@Mikrotik: So, native Linux l2tp/ipsec works with windows clients. Why does the linux based ROS not work in this context?
