You need to forward UDP 4500 and 500 instead of 1701.

Hi, I've got the same problem that you. The only difference between us is that my VPN is on a local network (because I'm beginner and I try some test).

I also have followed the Android VPN tutoriel, and unfortunately, my Android Device can't connect to the VPN.
I don't think I have to make a port-forwarding on my router because I don't go out of my network.

I tried to enable the Virtual DHCP and now, my android device can connect to the VPN. I can see into the IpTable of my VPN server that the IP are good, but the phone can't ping any device of the network !!

Have you got any idea ?

Regards !

Hi, Wozza.

I am having a problem regarding on IPv6 on android client. My android client can get the IPv4 address from VirtualNAT but how about IPv6?

How do you configure port forwarding on the server and which server OS you use?

Is your android client get only IPv4 or IPv6 as well as IPv4?

Regards :D

>>dev-innov
Did you create localbridge? (Don't use SecureNAT and localbridge together)

>>gengkai
SoftEther VPN doesn't support IPv6 on L2TP.
