i'm currently trying to set up a VPN in order to login into a private subnet hosted on AWS. The target host has Ubuntu 14.04 and installed OpenSwan.
I've setup ipsec.conf, ipsec.secrets, xl2tpd.conf, options.xl2tpd and chap-secrets and currently ipsec and xl2tpd are running on server.
ipsec verify will return no errors.
I've created a PSK session on Mac OS X pointing to an elastic IP (54.187.107, which is attached to the VPN Instance), pasted the shared secret, but when trying to login with my user and password i will get a "The L2TP-VPN server did not respond"
When checking logs, i will get these:
Myterminal# tail /var/log/ppp.log
Fri May 16 15:46:22 2014 : L2TP connecting to server '54.187.107.160' (54.187.107.160)...
Fri May 16 15:46:22 2014 : IPSec connection started
Fri May 16 15:46:23 2014 : IPSec connection established
Fri May 16 15:46:43 2014 : L2TP cannot connect to the server
Myterminal# tail /var/log/system.log
racoon[530]: IKEv1 Information-Notice: transmit success. (Delete ISAKMP-SA)
racoon[530]: glob found no matches for path "/var/run/racoon/*.conf"
racoon[530]: pfkey DELETE failed: No such file or directory
racoon[530]: Connecting.
racoon[530]: Unknown Informational exchange received.
Furthermore , i have used tcpdump and checked ports 1701, 4500 and 500. Only 1701 is not receiving packets/data.
If you need further information from the configuration files please let me know, it's been a few days and still cannot reach the server. My apologies if the post lacks a proper format for the code, i'm currently learning how to do it.
