Hi Virgo,

Thanks for your reply. I had a look at the manuals you sent. I tried replicating those settings (setting the parameters according to my ip ranges).

I also used a windows pc to connect to the vpn with the same settings as in your manual.

However, I get an error when trying to connect to the vpn 'The modem (or other reporting device) has reported an error.

When tracing the communication with wireshark, I get the following communcation:

This would indicate that the client (windows pc) didn't provide any authorization (or incorrect information)?

Even though I correctly filled in the username and password (and pre-shared key)

Hi Virgo,

I enabled the two options in my vpn configuration. However, windows still complains that the connection can't be set up (same error as before).

The network trace changed however (there is no more 'stop' message...)

I also checked the system log on my tp link router to check if any errors show up there, but unfortunately no errors:

After giving it another try, I now get more logs in wireshark:

However, still not a successfull connection. I've included the full wireshark logs in case somebody wants to look at the details. wireshark logs

The StopCCN message is sent with error 'No authorization'.

Thanks and kind regards,

Matthias

Yet another update.

It seems that having the client device in the local network prevents the vpn connection from working.

When I connect the vpn client to the ISP modem (on the WAN side of the tp-link) router, I am now able to connect properly.

However, when I connect from another internet location, the vpn connection doesn't work yet. The only difference I see in the communication, is that the client starts using UDP encapsulation (which it doesn't when connecting locally).

My guess is this is related to the fact that my ISP uses NAT in their network, should I configure anything extra to make this work?

Thanks and kind regards.
