Cannot connect VPN with L2TP
Hi all! I've followed all the instructions I can find to setup L2TP VPN to connect to the FVS318Gv2 VPN from remote Windows 10 clients, but cannot seem to get it to work. I followed the instruction...
Thanks! Yes, changing to "Main" did allow VPN to connect. Although I can't see the network resources, so something is messed up with my IP routing somewhere. :(

Yeah that article is a steaming pile of garbage. The built-in client in Windows 10 (and 7 and 8) are L2TP/IPSEC. That article completely omits the IPsec configuration (as in, the most important part).
Try my article I made here: https://community.netgear.com/t5/VPN-Firewalls/FVS336Gv3-L2TP-IPsec-on-Windows-10/m-p/1065789#M4418
Hey, thanks so much for the response! I actually found your article and followed your instructions. However, I'm getting this error:
Wed Jan 18 21:09:02 2017 (GMT -0800): [FVS318Gv2] [IKE] ERROR: Identity Protection mode of (invalid)[(invalid)] is not acceptable.
Wed Jan 18 21:09:02 2017 (GMT -0800): [FVS318Gv2] [IKE] INFO: Anonymous configuration selected for x.x.x.x[500].
Any idea on this error or what identity protection mode is?
Thanks!
