Solo,
Thanks for your assistance.
I've connected to my VPN server using the internal LAN address and the Windows client. I configured per those instructions you provided.
I opened the ports on my Fedora 38 server as well as added port forwarding from my router to the Fedora server.
I attempted to use my iPhone via cell service to connect. I used L2TP, my server public domain name as the address, and account my username@virtual hub name.
I even tried the DDNS domain name as the server.
No joy.
So I tried my mac, which is on the same LAN as the server and my windows box. I used the same info, but use my server's ip address instead of domain name.
No joy.
I read somewhere that the
VPN Gate link but not RTFM? It clearly states "Specify "vpn" (3-letters) also on the "Shared Secret" field".
My virtual hub has VPN in the name with dashes between names, the secret key has vpn in the key (but no dashes). Does this matter?
Lastly, this is coming from my server_log

Lastly, I noticed in my logs that
failed to generate session key for dynamic DNS: permission denied
I run a cache-forward dns server :(
Ideas?
