l2tp client kmod-l2tp xl2tpd ath79 #12544

Open francisuk1989 opened 4 years ago

francisuk1989 commented 4 years ago

I have tried to install the following L2TP under OpenWrt 19.07.3 ath79

kmod-l2tp
kmod-l2tp-eth
kmod-l2tp-ip 
kmod-pppol2tp
xl2tpd

However when trying to add a new interface is not there, Im not trying to setup a VPN as my ISP has given me info to setup L2TP with a public IP.

@francisuk1989 I believe you may be using the same L2TP transit service I have through Andrews & Arnold (AAISP)?

https://support.aa.net.uk/L2TP_Client:_OpenWRT

When installing the kmods you will need to reboot your router for these kernel modules to then be loaded, then the L2TP option should be usable for the network interface configuration part.

In addition make sure you have provisioned your IPs on the tunnel side through https://control.aa.net.uk/ otherwise the l2tp-aaisp interface may never actually come up or be visible with ifconfig, despite looking like it has connected in LuCI.
