Step-by-Step L2TP Setup

I am quite frustrated right now. I have, for days, been trying to set up a very simple L2TP VPN Remote Access to my internal network.

My Internal LAN is 192.168.3.0 / 24

I want my remote users to be able to access everything on my internal LAN as if they were sitting in my office on the LAN. I want all traffic (including internet traffic) routed through my internal LAN.

I want my remote user to be able to map drives, access shares and IP devices (printers) as if they were sitting in the office. This is SIMPLE SIMPLE stuff. I can set it up and have it working with DD-WRT in 5 min. I can set it up in Cisco iOS in 15 min. Works perfect. Every time. Why can't I do it with SOPHOS XG? XG105W specifically.

Please, please, please - don't refer me to an existing document. I have been on the net reading every existing document I can find over and over and over again. I have gotten nowhere.

Please, please, please - provide a step-by-step guide. Don't leave anything out. Don't assume anything. I know this would be of help to more than just me. 

The end result should be once I connect with my remote client, I can go to the command prompt and ping any IP on the 192.168.3.0 LAN, map a drive to any PC on the 192.168.3.0 LAN, and all internet traffic should go through the Sophos.

Thank you!

  • Hi,

    Greeting,

    You will have to forward the port 4500 and 500 from upper layer device as well. Once that is done. Try connecting the L2TP and collect the below logs from the device console from the option number 4.

    show vpn IPSec-logs

    show vpn L2TP-logs

    It would help us to reach the conclusion.
