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. :(

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!

No idea; post a screenshot of the VPN config pages and the Win10 VPN client config screens, and ill take a look.
Hey Train_wreck, Thanks again for helping! Here are the screenshots:

Here is the error log on the VPN Router -
Hopefully I'm just missing an easy setting somewhere and you'll see it right away.
Thanks!

Set "Exchange Mode" to "Main" in your IKE policy. Also, you didn't post a screenshot of the "L2TP Server" page, I'm guessing it's been properly configured as well?
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. :(
