Openswan and xl2tpd tunnel not working

l2tpopenswan

Since weeks i want to setup l2tp tunnel with xl2tpd and openswan in debian wheezy, the external interface is ppp0 with dynamic ip and the internal interface is eth0 with ip address 192.168.1.1.
l2tp server give me the user_id, password and the preshared psk_key and it's ip 217.147.94.149.
The ipsec log show the connection is established but there is no pppx interface, these are the configuration and log files:
ipsec.conf:

To start the l2tp tunnel i run the command:


echo "c securitykiss" > /var/run/xl2tpd/l2tp-control 

But "ip link" didn't show the pppx for l2tp tunnel:

#ip link

1: lo:  mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: eth0:  mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN mode DEFAULT qlen 1000

3: ppp0:  mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT qlen 3

Best Answer

You need to enable IP forwarding, and disable the send_redirects, as per the results of the "ipsec verify" step you did.

This should do the trick:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
for each in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*
do
    echo 0 > $each/accept_redirects
    echo 0 > $each/send_redirects
done

Then run "ipsec verify" again, and that failure should go away.
