Hi!
I am having trouble setting up a working VPN (Server) on my Mac Mini at home. El Capitan 10.11.6.
I have a dynamic host name. My router (Inteno DG301AL) at home responds to ping requests sent to that dynamic host name. I have set up port forwarding on it like follows:
UDP: 500, 1701 and 4500
TCP: 1723 (not needed for L2TP?)
My MacMini Server is set up as such:
In Server, on the MacMini Overview page, it says that on Internet, the machine is reachable on IP number a.b.c.d (which corresponds to the dynamic dns address), no services available.
My VPN (Available - Reachability unknown) is configured as follows:
Permissions: All users, All Network
Configure VPN for: L2TP
VPN Host Name: my dynamic dns host name
Shared Secret: whatever
Client addresses: 31 for L2TP
etc default values
I have tested the connection with my iPhone and iPad and from my PC at work, but the Mac does not respond. I don’t see anything happening in the VPN log either, other than that the VPN service is started. My VPN clients are configured using matching parameter values. As user name and password I use the the ones I normally log in with to the Mac.
I have got this to work earlier (a year ago or so) using the same router and another Mac Mini, and I have no clue what I’ve done wrong.
Any ideas where I should start looking?
Cheers,
Kim
