The question is about VPN clients and MAC address filtering.

 

Right now I have VPN L2TP server enabled and working well. Users with login, password and key can connect via VPN to local LAN and all looks fine execpt one thing - MAC filtering.

 

My idea was mix VPN users togerther with MAC address filtering to be 100% sure that only computers that I had prepared to work can log into VPN. And noone could log in from other computers.

 

So I enabled MAC filtering allowing address from list below.

 

 

But it doesn't look like working. I mean I made a test connection via VPN from a computer that was not on MAC filtering list. And it connected with no problems.

 

So is that possible to use MAC filtering on VPN clients?

Hi, as I know, the MAC filtering can not work for VPN clients.

And I thought if the PC doesn't know the username/password and the pre-shared key, it can not connect to the VPN server.

Just striving to develop myself while helping others.
