See further below for CLI based xl2tpd manual instructions |

=Ubuntu / Network Manager = |
|||
If you'd rather not set this all up with the CLI then you can use Network Manager instead. |
|||
First, install the packages for the l2tp client and the network manager controls: |
|||
apt install xl2tpd network-manager-l2tp network-manager-l2tp-gnome |
|||
If the packages are not found, you may need to add some PPA's, eg one or both of these may be required: |
|||
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nm-l2tp/network-manager-l2tp |
|||
sudo add-apt-repository universe |
|||
sudo apt-get update |
|||
Then, using Network Manager, create the L2TP connection: |
|||
#Add a L2TP connection: (pic below) |
|||
##Click the Network icon on the task bar |
|||
##Click Settings |
|||
##Next to 'VPN', click the + icon |
|||
#Enter in the settings: (pic below) |
|||
##Name: anything, eg AAISP |
|||
##Type: Password |
|||
##User name: your login we gave you, eg xxx@a.1 |
|||
##Password: the password we gave you |
|||
##Click Apply |
|||
#Connect/disconnect via the network icon on the taskbar (pic below) |
