FVS336Gv3 - L2TP/IPsec on Windows 10

I have a Windows Server running RRAS with PPTP. The FVS forwards this with no problem.  The problem is we now need to move to L2TP. I have created this on the Windows server, and from within the LAN...

Thanks for the response Dane

 

I would prefer to use the VPN server I already have on my Windows server. 

 

Having said that, I have already been through this as a test and following that guide I did manage to establish an L2TP connection to the FVS, no traffic went through, and I couldn't ping or connect to anything. 

 

The setup is: 

 

[Windows Server]---Lan---[FVS336Gv3]---[FIBRE MODEM]---[WWW]

 

The Fibre modem and the FVS both have public static IP addresses, and the FVS is in the DMZ of the modem. 

 

thanks,

Hi Arronj,

 

Welcome to the community!

You should connect your Windows Server to FVS336Gv3 LAN port ,not DMZ port. FVS336Gv3 only supports access LAN by L2TP from WAN side.

 

Thanks
