I hit below error message when using L2TP on Mac machine. It works just fine on Windows 10 with softether client installed. I also tried iPhone, iPad all hitting the same error message. Could anyone please advise where did I miss?

I have followed the link
https://www.softether.org/4-docs/2-howt ... ient_Setup but still not working. Not sure whether I need to port forwarding udp 500, 992 and tcp 443 and etc.

It works perfectly fine now after port forwarding the UDP & TCP ports and add those ports to Inbound Rules. Connect L2TP from Macbook without any issue. Thank you everyone for assistance. :)

I continue the issue here.
L2TP/IPSEC VPN connection works fine via internal network. But it doesn't work outside network and I am thinking whether it has something to do with WAN port. Anyone has any idea here?

Maybe it caused by firewall rules, disable firewall on server and check if works
