L2TP VPN
25.1 Overview
L2TP VPN uses the L2TP and IPSec client software included in remote users’ Android, iOS, Windows
or Mac OS X operating systems for secure connections to the network behind the USG. The remote
users do not need their own IPSec gateways or third-party VPN client software.

25.1.2 What You Need to Know
The Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) works at layer 2 (the data link layer) to tunnel network traffic
between two peers over another network (like the Internet). In L2TP VPN, an IPSec VPN tunnel is
established first and then an L2TP tunnel is built inside it. See
information on IPSec VPN.
IPSec Configuration Required for L2TP VPN
You must configure an IPSec VPN connection prior to proper L2TP VPN usage (see
for details). The IPSec VPN connection must:
• Be enabled.
• Use transport mode.
• Use
Pre-Shared Key
authentication.
• Use a VPN gateway with the
Secure Gateway
set to
0.0.0.0
if you need to allow L2TP VPN
clients to connect from more than one IP address.
