Hello There.
Pls a help.
I was create a SoftEther VPN server Windows. My goal is that client open shared folders on this server.
Using Windows Client, it's working fine. Windows Client can connect VPN Server (using Softether client app) - I can access server and shared folders.
But, I'm trying use a MAC Client without success. I'm using native vpn connecion from mac as soon as recomnended. Every time that I try connect my VPN Server, show the message ' The L2TP-VPN server did not respond.' (tested 2 macs - OSX 10.15.3 and 10.12.6)
I setup L2TP, enabling L2TP Server Function on VPN server.
I followed all docs, and have same issue. I tried change configuration for couple times, no success.
Any idea?
PS: I need enable EtherIP/L2TPv3 over IPsec Server funcion? If so, Pls, let me understand what I need setup over Detail Settings.
Thanks in advanced
Only can connect via Windows - Mac doesn't work.

Did you Forward UDP ports 4500 & 500 to SE server Host? See bottom of the following link.

Hey buddy.
I just opened on windows firewall 4500 and 500 udp. (my vpn server) It was not forwarding.
Now, I setup my router and create rules to forwarding 500 and 4500 upd ports for my VPN Server.
I have the same issue. MAC still not connecting.
Tnx!

Same issue over here. I have my firewall ports open as well as port forward to my server from the router.
I'm able to connect from the SoftEther client on windows machines but not through L2TP on mac.
Anyone with knowledge on this would be greatly appreciated!

Did you create a preshared key/ secret?

Re: Only can connect via Windows - Mac doesn't work.
The type of VPN server to choose on OS X is L2TP IPSec/PSK, otherwise it won't connect.
Also, make sure the connections are actually being forwarded to your server... Double check your forwarding rules.
