Unblocking VPN L2TP IpSec

I would like to allow one of my clients (192.168.A.X) to do their own VPN connections to a remote location (192.168.B.X).

I do not see anything in the logs or live capture.

I created an FW rule which allows any to any and disabled IPS just for testing.

I tried a FW rule where the source/destination is 192.168.A.X or 192.168.B.X.

My understanding of all of this is very limited. I was hoping to avoid the VPN section and just allow the traffic to pass the FW.

The log of my client L2TP is:

Wed Feb 23 15:40:26 2022 : L2TP connecting to server 'the remote public IP'..
Wed Feb 23 15:40:26 2022 : IPSec connection started
Wed Feb 23 15:40:26 2022 : IPSec phase 1 client started
Wed Feb 23 15:40:36 2022 : IPSec connection failed

Any help would be appeciated.

Hello there,

Thank you for contacting the Sophos Community.

Could you please share a diagram of what you are trying to achieve?

Did you configure L2TP on the XG and your user/customer connects to this XG and you want to re-route this L2TP traffic to a different location? How does the other location connect to the XG?

Regards,

I just want to connect to a remote Network via

L2TP/IPSec RSA

I have a pre-shared key and username/password.

If I use my old Router instead of the Sophos Firewall it works fine: I can use the VPN client on any workstation. There is no need to tunnel my whole (local network). However, I could do that too.

I tried disabling all rules:

And connecting via VPN client on the Workstation. The VPN connection can not be open and is blocked in the firewall. However, no logs and no entry in capture.

I saw the L2TP remote access settings in the firewall. However, it seems as it does not support user credentials via username/password. I do not have an AC in my local network.

I checked the VPN settings in Sophos but could not figure out which
