For those who are have no Idea how to setup L2TP+IPSec VPn on Ubuntu 18 or above (Assuming GNOME)

1. apt update
2. apt install network-manager-l2tp-gnome
3. Go to Settings -> Network -> VPN.
4. Tap Add (+ icon) to add a new VPn
5. Select Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol
6. Select the Identity tab and add the Gatway Add the IP
7. Select authentication type to password (it should be default though)
8. Add username and Password.
9. Tap the IpSec Settings button (it would be at the bottom of the dialog and with a spanner icon)
10. Click the checkbox to "Enable the IPSec tunnel to L2TP Host"
11. Add Machine Auhtentication type to Pre shared key(PSK)
12. Enter the preshared key
13. Click ok and save changes.
14. Enable the VPN and enjoy.

Thanks for the guide,
Do you have any guide on setting up VPN Chain i.e. setting up VPN to VPN chain?

So how would that work?

You VPN to a Server A and the Server A establishes the connection to Server B (C1VHosting)? Are you talking about chaining them?

Thanks for the message, try each product one at a time with the corresponding coupon. It should work, I see others are getting through on the backend, if it doesn't, please PM your email and I can check further on this for you, welcome to the family!

I got it working in the end on my PC. For some reason it wasn't working on mobile
