Configure Sophos XG Firewall L2TP Settings

Hi Everyone,

Sorry if this in the wrong place (new to the community) and thank you in advance for your help.

My work has just purchased 2 new Sophos XG firewalls v18. So I thought I would install the Home Edition at home to play around with and learn. For the most part that has gone really well except I can't work out how to correctly configure the Sophos Client L2TP settings.

I've followed the steps provided in this article: https://support.sophos.com/support/s/article/KB-000036443?language=en_US and the steps provided in a link at the bottom of that article to setup Windows 10 connection as well as many others around but come up empty handed.

I can't see anything in the logs to point me in the right direction so all I have to go off is a generic error message from windows: "The L2TP connection attempt failed because the security layer encounter a processing error during the initial negations with the remote computer".

I've used the policy tested to test the policy and it passes. The VPN has been configured and activated, I've created a user and assigned it, and there is a policy setup and a firewall rule.

Not sure what other information to supply (sorry about that) but if you let me know what you need and I will provide it.

Here are screenshots of my setup related to the VPN config: https://gmworks-my.sharepoint.com/:f:/g/personal/jcherrie_gmworks_com_au/EvEOov-LuTNIm10L3kTW6kABpXaO9KuOCVoe0SyMMfy2Zw?e=r0sakg

Again thank you for your help.

Kind Regards,

Jake

  • First question, why to go with L2TP? 

    Personally i would recommend to look at Sophos Connect. 

    Its a piece of Software by Sophos, which can build up SSLVPN and IPsec. Maybe this approach is way more better?
