At the time, the solution in the post didn't work, so a temporary solution is to hand-edit the generated file for the tunnel, then kill the xl2tpd process. This makes it try and reconnect without re-generating the file. It gets connected.

(Updated March 2023)
 
Create a static route so the L2TP gateway runs over your current ISP gateway (EdgeOS tries to route the L2TP over itself for some reason).

L2TP set up in the usual way via the config tree

Add an SNAT rule so LAN clients can access

You then need to edit the /etc/ppp/peers/l2tpc1 file and add the line "remotename xl2tpd" so it looks something like this
 
[[File:Edgerouter-L2TP4.png|frame]]
 
Then run "sudo service xl2tpd restart" to re-establish the L2TP, it's important this is done via the cli otherwise EdgeOS overwrites this file and removes the line we just added.
 
This should get v4 up and running, I've not tackled v6 yet but if i manage to get that working i'll update you.
