* Plain L2TP '''without any IPsec'''. This is important as some devices may not support disabling encryption on L2TP, eg iPhones * Check that your ISP/mobile provider does not have features that will block 'VPN' services - eg Vodafone's 'SecureNet' will block access to our L2TP service but can usually be disabled via the provider's control pages/App/etc Please use the DNS name (l2tp.aa.net.uk) instead of hardcoding an IP address; IP addresses can and do change. If you have to use an IP, use 194.4.172.12, but do check the DNS for l2tp.aa.net.uk in case it changes. Static routes? Some L2TP client's config needs to have a static route to route traffic to the L2TP server directly rather than through the tunnel(!) - in these cases you may need to add multiple static routes and keep them updated as the IPs that l2tp.aa.net.uk may change and increase over time. === Speed/Latency Tweaks === === Port forwarding on some 'Mobile Broadband' routers === We have reports from a few customers who are using 4G/5G mobile data routers for 'mobile broadband' that whilst they do support L2TP they do not appear to port forward the static IP on the L2TP. The web UI suggests that ~~portforwarding~~port-forwarding can be configured, but this seems to only ~~portforward~~port-forward the IP address on the mobile data connection and not the IP address on the L2TP connection. We suggest that customers should report this as a bug to the supplier/manufacturer of the router. This can have an impact on using our L2TP service as these routers will be ~~restircting~~restricting the capabilities (ie ~~portforwarding~~port forwarding). A work-around is to to a separate ~~ethernet~~Ethernet router on your LAN to establish the tunnel. = Notes on setting up L2TP IN to AAISP: = {{AAMenu\|img=Menu-FireBrick.svg\|link=L2TP_Client:_FireBrick\|title=L2TP from FireBrick\|text=Creating a L2TP connection from a FireBrick to AAISP}} {{AAMenu\|img=Menu-Apple.svg\|link=L2TP_Client:_OSX\|title=L2TP from OSX\|text=Creating a L2TP connection from Apple OSX to AAISP}} {{AAMenu\|img=Menu-Apple.svg\|link=L2TP_Client:_iOS\|title=L2TP from iOS\|text=Our L2TP service won't work from iOS (iPhones & iPads)}} {{AAMenu\|img=Menu-Windows.svg\|link=L2TP_Client:_Windows\|title=L2TP from Windows\|text=Creating a L2TP connection from Windows to AAISP}} {{AAMenu\|img=Menu-Linux.svg\|link=L2TP_Client:_Debian\|title=L2TP from Debian\|text=Creating a L2TP connection from Debian to AAISP using xl2tpd}} {{AAMenu\|img=Menu-Linux.svg\|link=L2TP_Client:_Linux\|title=L2TP from Linux\|text=Creating a L2TP connection from Linux/Ubuntu/Network Manager to AAISP using xl2tpd}} {{AAMenu\|img=Menu-Linux.svg\|link=Router:Linux_-_Debian_-_With_L2TP_Fallback\|title=L2TP Failover with ~~Linux~~Debian\|text=Creating a L2TP fallback for AAISP using ~~pppd and~~ xl2tpd}} {{AAMenu\|img=Menu-Routerboard.svg\|link=L2TP_Client:_Routerboard\|title=L2TP from Routerboard\|text=Creating a L2TP connection from Routerboard to AAISP}} {{AAMenu\|img=Menu-OpenWRT.svg\|link=L2TP_Client:_OpenWRT\|title=L2TP from OpenWRT\|text=Creating a L2TP connection from OpenWRT to AAISP}} {{AAMenu\|img=Menu-router.svg\|link=L2TP_Client:_Other_Routers\|title=L2TP from Other Routers\|text=Generic information for creating a L2TP connection from other routers to AAISP (eg Netgear, TP-Link etc that are not listed here.}} {{AAMenu\|img=Menu-router.svg\|link=L2TP_Client:_Ubiquiti_Edgerouter\|title=Ubiquiti\|text=Problems with Ubiquiti Edgerouter.}} {{AAMenu\|img=Menu-router.svg\|link=L2TP_Client:_MikroTik_RouterBOARD_hEX\|title=MikroTik\|text=Create an L2TP connection from a MikroTik Routerboard.}} {{AAMenu\|img=Menu-router.svg\|link=L2TP_Client:_OpenWRT_with_Policy_Based_Routing\|title=OpenWRT-Policy Based Routing\|text=Create an L2TP connection from a OpenWRT with Policy Based Routing.}} [[Category:L2TP]]
