Months now I've been working on this, a few hours there, a few hours here. MONTHS!
I cannot believe how difficult this is. How this isn't a more common question here just blows my mind.
Finally made a little progress today. Previously I couldn't get the L2TP to work from a Workstation behind the firewall. That tells me it's an issue with the server. Today, I finally found one small setting that now enables me to connect through a workstation on the same LAN and behind the firewall of my L2TP server.
Now if I could just get through this Netgear Firewall.
To recap: We have been using PPTP for 8 years. When we got the new Netgear, it was so easy to set up. Go to SECURITY and add one Inbound Service: PPTP, point it to the internal server: voila. Success.
The link every one keeps sending me to explains how to set the SRX 5308 AS an L2TP server. I don't want that! I just want the router to pass the traffic to the server.
This has to be more common a question?!? It simply has to be ever since Apple stopped supporting PPTP. My users can no longer use an iPhone HotSpot to VPN in. Because I can't figure out how to get the Netgeat to pass that sweet sweet L2TP traffic.
Help?!? This should not be that hard. (Hopefully it isn't).
