I am stuck trying to connect a remote user via L2TP with IPsec to the AWS hosted FusionHub. For testing, I am using the inbuilt Windows VPN client with the same PSK, but I am unable to make a VPN connection. I must be missing a step. To date, I have:
Opened up UDP ports 500, 4500 and 1701 on the AWS instance
Setup remote user access settings with a PSK and a local user
Setup the windows VPN with the public IP of the AWS instance and the same PSK.
Thanks. This adds another piece to the puzzle. In this prior post, it seems Kevin was able to establish a remote client VPN connection but could not connect to anything. I am having trouble establishing the VPN connection. I suspect I am missing a simple step.
Thanks. I have reviewed the setup guide and recreated a new VPN profile on Windows - no success, still unable to connect. I assume the IP address required for the VPN client is the AWS public IP address? See wireshark capture below filtered to ISAKMP traffic. Let me know if you need to see more of the capture.
Are you using Google Fiber? The source, are you sure IPSec Passthrough is enabled on your router? Can you do me a favor and DM me your public AWS IP if you don’t mind? I’ll take a look.
Looking at your capture, it looks like everything is done properly. You will have 6 packet exchanges in phase 1 (completed it looks like), and the 3 packet exchanges in phase 2 (looks completed as well) and then keepalives after.
Can you look at what happens outside of your IKEv1 filter that you have? I still think that some data isn’t being exchanged which leads Windows to think the connection isn’t established. Do you have logs from the VPN connection on the Peplink side, even though they’re thin? Do you see the connection attempts?
