Hi all,
First of all let me say that I'm completely new to Astaro so please apologize for any "simple" things I might have left unconsidered.
I'm actually trying to setup a L2TP connection between the iPhone 3GS and one ASG Essential Firewall but so far without success. My configuration is as follows:
iPhone 3GS - Version 3.0.1 (4A700)
Astaro Essentials FW 7.5 running on VMware ESXi 4.0.0
I've setup the L2TP as documented in the PDF available by Astaro (iPhone-ASG L2TP Setup Guide) but every time I try to connect the phone fails with the following message: "The L2TP-VPN Server did not respond. Try reconnecting. If the problem continues, verify your setting and ..."
I've checked as well the enable debug mode checkbox in the Advanced Mode but didn't get any log information indicating what the problem might be. I've attached screen shots of the configuration settings at the ASG. I've added as well to the rule base that IPSec related traffic is allowed for any source networks. [:(]
I've tried as well to setup a PPTP connection from the same iPhone to the same ASG and that one works as a charm. [:S]
Does anyone have an idea what I'm missing here ?
Although the PPTP works I need to use L2TP for it's increased security settings. the Cisco VPN client is no option as I need the split tunnel mechanism too.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Many thanks beforehand and best regards, Frank
