ubuntu 12.04 ipsec server problem. Help needed
Hi
I follow this guide to setup IPSEC/L2TP https://raymii.org/s/tutorials/IPSEC_L2TP_vpn_with_Ubuntu_12.04.html
However, when I set it up in Windows as a client, I cannot connect to the server. I look at syslog, it says it is listening on port 1701
But using netstat -a , port 1701 is not open. xl2tpd do show up in ps -A.
So I am very confusing where is the problem.

What is the output of:
sudo ipsec verifyTry restarting them:
sudo /etc/init.d/xl2tpd restartsudo /etc/init.d/ipsec restartChecking your system to see if IPsec got installed and started correctly:
Version check and ipsec on-path [OK]

Yes. Log seems fine to me too. However, port 1701 is not listened.
share your xl2tpd.conf and ipsec.conf files
I didn't get on with L2TP/IPSec in Ubuntu. Much more straightforward in CentOS using the many guides around. The only way I could easily get L2TP/IPSec to work in Ubuntu was with SoftEther - search it in LET, @lincoln made a step-by-step guide at http://linc01n.github.com/blog/2013/03/19/softether-on-vps/
@dnwk i got it working with debian fine though
@mark softether is different, although it got l2tp but it's different. I don't think there's any problem in ubuntu and L2TP over IPSec
Sure you're not firewalling it?
