Does anyone know how to set up the iPhone's VPN client to access LMCE?
if somebody can help me set it up I will write a Wiki page for it
I use a cisco 1900 series router for that. I can help with the config.
So you access the LMCE VPN with that device from another location?
I filled in the following info on the L2PT page:
Description: LMCE
Server: myserver.dyndns.com (my server name - at least this format)
Account: username
Password: my linuxmce password
secret: pre-shared key from the LMCE network page
Proxy: off
I still get a message along the lines of "the L2PT-VPN server is not responding" - any ideas?
Is this over 3g? I had this problem a while back and determined that my provider (rogers) charges $10/month to allow vpn access. Something's about port blocking (but not tcp or udp ports). My networking knowledge is lacking however.
I use the VPN to connect elsewhere via both wifi and 3/4G
hi
I use a buffalo adsl+2modem/router running ddwrt software which has openvpn
it works for me
So you are saying you do not use LMCE's VPN?
Does anybody use LinuxMCE's VPN with iPhone VPN Client? Or does anybody use LinuxMCEs CPN with any device client?
Hey,
cant provide useful information.
i noticed, when i check the checkbox in LMCE-Admin -> Wizard -> Basic Info -> Users -> Can connect via VPN and clicked on "save" the checkbox was disabled again after reload.
I made it work somehow, i think it was in the php.ini settings (sorry, cant remember :-/ ).
If you need this information, let me know :-) ...
I tried it serveral times to connect with my iPhone iPad or Mac, no luck at all ...
This is what i get, when connecting via Mac build-in VPN:
tail -f /var/log/auth.log
Oct 5 23:23:41 dcerouter sshd[13503]: pam_sm_authenticate: Called
Oct 5 23:23:41 dcerouter sshd[13503]: pam_sm_authenticate: username = [jochen]
Oct 5 23:23:41 dcerouter sshd[13503]: Accepted password for jochen from 192.168.80.131 port 56673 ssh2
Oct 5 23:23:41 dcerouter sshd[13503]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user jochen by (uid=0)

Oct 5 23:24:03 dcerouter CRON[13869]: pam_unix(cron:session): session closed for user root
If you need details for iPhone or iPad, again, let me know :-)
cheers,

nice ...
made VPN work somehow using this howto:
http://blog.riobard.com/2010/04/30/l2tp-over-ipsec-ubuntu
connection works locally using:
- OS X Mountain Lion
- iOS 5.0.1
Does not work on iOS 6 .... needs more testing.
nice. .... does now work on iOS 6 too ...
::)
Where can i find the templates to integrate my changes into LinuxMCE?
Thanks

Lat night I tried to get the system to work as describe in the link:
http://blog.riobard.com/2010/04/30/l2tp-over-ipsec-ubuntu (http://blog.riobard.com/2010/04/30/l2tp-over-ipsec-ubuntu)
Most of the config files in LMCE are identical to the ones in the Blog.
/etc/ipsec.secrets is slightly different:
LMCE
%any %any: PSK "YourSharedSecret"
the Blog
YOUR.SERVER.IP.ADDRESS %any: PSK "YourSharedSecret"
LMCE /etc/xl2tpd/xl2tpd.conf has an extra line:
name = LinuxMCE_VPN_Server
sudo ipsec verify
gave me a bunch of failures, these were resolved by running:
for each in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*
do
echo 0 > $each/accept_redirects
echo 0 > $each/send_redirects
done
I was looking to see if there were any tickets associated with the VPN and found that there was a change that Foxi352 did that should have addressed this:
http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/changeset/24656 (http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/changeset/24656)
at the end of all this I still do not have a working VPN
hm .... will check this tonight...
And wat else i have done to make it work for me...
