I am not able to access office resources. I am using Ubuntu 18.04 on my Dell laptop. L2tp/Ipsec Vpn has been installed in my laptop but not able to access resources.

We have set up L2tp/Ipsec in Ubuntu 14.04 and it worked fine with the below steps

Packages required:

sudo apt-get install openswan xl2tpd l2tp-ipsec-vpn

In the file /etc/ppp/Lybrate.options.xl2tpd

How can we install these package in Ubuntu 18.04?

  • what do you mean by "office resources". Please be more specific – pLumo Jun 20 '18 at 14:20
  • Assuming you have been given some information from the "office" about how to login (i.e. a gateway and user credentials) and your office usually works with Windows, then what step is unclear to you? – TorstenS Jun 20 '18 at 14:48

I know this isn't the answer you want, but as of this moment there are no versions of the openswan package available beyond 14.04 and no source package for bionic either. The same is true for the l2tp-ipsec-vpn package which also doesn't have a current source package for bionic at this moment.

For the above packages you could attempt to compile them from the latest sources available or test the debian packages. Either or neither of which may be successful in your environment.

The xl2tpd package is available for bionic in the universe repository.

Since you require these resources an alternative would be to stick with 14.04 until such time as the required/desired packages are available (hopefully before April of 2019 when Trusty support expires).
