Cannot set up the L2TP-VPN
I followed the instructions to configure https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/3050/
When I attempt to connect from my laptop I get the message: The L2TP-VPN server did not respond.
I thought it *might* be because my ISP is blocking inbound connections, so I set up a fake internet connection to my ER7206 to test this.
From my laptop (198.51.100.2) on this fake internet, I can ping the router (192.0.2.5)
I set up the VPN connection as documented, and keep getting the "did not respond" error. How can I further troubleshoot?
I know that routing is working from my laptop to the router. What is missing?
I did find an error in my VPN policy and now I'm a little closer.
and I see the following errors in my logs:
