Router – Cannot connect to the L2TP IPSec VPN

asusl2tproutersynologyvpn

I am trying to get my VPN (L2TP IPSec PSK) to work. I have a Synology NAS where I have setup everything as it says on the Synology support page.

In my Asus RT-N66U router I have opened UDP ports 500, 1701 and 4500 for port forwarding to my NAS that has the VPN service running. See the picture below.
enter image description here

But from outside the network I can't connect to my VPN. I have tried both from my computer and from my Android phone.
If I am inside the network and set the host of my VPN client to the IP of the NAS/VPN given by my router, it works, so I suppose it has something todo with my Asus RT-N66U router that maybe does not forward the packets properly.

Any ideas on this issue?

EDIT

No logs from my VPN log. Here is a packet dump with only the UDP packets of the L2TP IPsec communication captured by my NAS, so it seems the router forwards the packets accordingly:

DiskStation> tcpdump -i eth0 -n udp
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 65535 bytes
