ER7412-M2 MAC Filtering - VPN Clients
Hello,
I have an L2TP client configured on my Omada. It works perfectly until I enable MAC filtering. Once MAC filtering is enabled, I lose connectivity. How can I prevent this from happening?

I am not sure I follow what you mean. Is there a typo in the description?
And a diagram should be provided to explain your current setup.

What I mean is, I have an L2TP VPN server configured on my Omada that clients connect to. But when I configure MAC filtering and enable it immediately afterward, I can't reconnect to the VPN.

Any more details about the MAC filter?
This appears to be a problem with your config as described so far.

When I enable MAC filtering, as I mentioned, it blocks my access to the VPN. In the “direction” tab, if I change it from “all” to LAN→WAN, I can then access the UTM, but I can’t connect via RDP.

MAC adresses from clients (pc, laptop, phone, whatever) are not maintained and carried over VPN - your mac address effectively becomes the MAC of the gateway as that is handling the connetion endpoint and NAT in<>out the WAN.
Therefore, if you have your MAC filtering set to "allow only those in the list" (which you do) instead of "block those in the list" your VPN connectivity will be blocked

Yes, that’s correct — the MAC addresses are not passed through the VPN. The gateway address is added to the list, so how can I fix the lack of connectivity to the VPN?
