L2TP VPN with Big Sur Without a Subscription

We have an SG210 that we use as a firewall for some of our servers, and we use the L2TP VPN. It meets our needs with a subscription and we've been very happy with the purchase.

Our L2TP VPN no longer works for iOS devices or Mac's with Big Sur.

I've seen the other threads detailing how to go to Remote Access -> IPsec -> L2TP-over-IPsec and remove "SHA2 256 (96 bit)" and add "SHA2 256".

The problem is if I try to go there it isn't allowed because we don't have a relevant subscription.

Is there another way to make that change? Like from the command line?

It doesn't make sense to have the L2TP VPN be usable without a subscription but not the settings that govern it's use.

Maybe a firmware update can move or copy the L2TP VPN settings like IPSec "authentication algorithm" to the Remote Access -> L2TP over IPsec page where they will still be accessible.

Thanks!

  • Hallo and welcome to the UTM Community!!

    We're coming up on our 19th year of selling/supporting the UTM.  I can't recall a time when Remote Access was offered free and not as a part of Network Protection, so, unless your reseller has the confd client expertise to modify the "L2TP over IPsec" policy, I think you're headed towards a dead end...

    You can, however, "upgrade" your UTM to XG Firewall for no charge and that does offer L2TP/IPsec in the free "Base" license.  Unfortunately, that requires configuring XG from scratch.

    Good luck!

    Cheers - Bob
