10.4: Configure a secure L2TP VPN – no connection
The installed vpn-server does not respond. I've set-up a mac mini, with 10.4.6 as vpn-server, as described above. System.log and vpnd.log suggest a proper working vpnd. But I can't connect from a client, also 10.4.6. The client does'nt find the server. I've tried it with a direct connection (one ehternet-cable between client and mac mini and self assigned IPs), and also with an WRT54G that is my network-router and also with a swtich, on that only server and client have been connected. But all these tries didn't take any effect, vpnd runs like isolated. All these hardware-configurations were tested in combination with both firewalls on and off. Can I have advice, where my error in configuration and setup might be? Thanks, Chris

Have you opened up appropriate ports in your OS X firewall (Sharing Prefs) on both machines? UDP 4500 and TCP 500 are what is indicated in an earlier posting.

Yes, I've done so. However, even if I disable firewalls completely (for testing only), I can't establish an connection! I am at a loss.

I am in the same boat. VPND doesnt actually open any ports for listening; though it does spawn racoon which does. The problem is that racoon doesn't seem to want to respond to any connections.

As an update, racoon does answer the connection but there is some problem with the auth...I haven't been thru the debug throughly yet.

Okay...found the problem. It turns out that racoon couldn't retrieve the key from the keychain until it was authorized. I didn't see a way to do this from the command line, so I logged into the console, openned the connnection which popped up the dialog to allow access. After that it was smooth sailing.

Hy,
Here's the fix
before you run
vpnd (kill it with sudo killall vpnd if it's running) you have to run sudo racoon -vF, and it will ask you for keychain access.
