VPN connection via L2TP/IPSEC

[prime_parrot]

– Please Write here your help request –

Dear support,

I’m trying to create a vpn connection type L2TP / IPSEC but after entering all the details i’m not able to connect.

The following error message appears:

I’ve tried multiple selections but still same happens.

As inputs i need to enter the following:
Connection type : L2TP/IPSEC
Gaterway /servicer: xxxx
USER ID: xxxx
PSWD: xxxx
PSK: xxxx
PAP

Could you please support by explaining how to configure so connection works?

Thank you in advance.

You need to enable, and also, start, the services, your error message is very clear…

Check service status	sudo systemctl status *name-of-service-im-configuring
Stop a service	sudo systemctl stop *name-of-service-im-configuring
Start a service	sudo systemctl start *name-of-service-im-configuring
Restart a service	sudo systemctl restart *name-of-service-im-configuring

Hello Fred_Sheehan,

thank you for your support.

I tried the service actions suggested for:
network-manager

but still have the same error message.

Do you know know any other service i could try to restart?
