How to Setup a Home VPN using Almond+

[lashanw]

Ok, I did the settings in Almond+. What's next? Do I need to download any vpn client app? If yes, any recommendations. I went into the VPN option under connections in my android 5.0.1 device, but it keeps repeatedly asking me to confirm my phone unlock pattern, not sure what the issue is there.

No app need. Just configure the van connection in Windows. Apple has a setting on their devices but know nothing about android but suspect it has settings.

Ok Apple autocorrect is killing me. VPN

I can only get it to connect in PPTP mode from my iPhone. Once I connected I was able to browse to my almond+ using it's LAN IP.

IPSec gives me an error "The L2TP-VPN server did not respond."

Almond+
IPSec Server
preshared key: preshared
Local endpoint address: my WAN IP
Local IP address: almond+ LAN IP
VPN users: user/pass

iPhone:
Type: L2TP
Server: WAN IP
account: user
password: pass
secret: preshared

I get the error with the above settings. I am on my cellular, not any wi-fi.

Almond+ has R080 installed on it.
iPhone has iOS 9 on it, but hasn't worked in the last year I've been messing with it off and on.

I tried setting up VPN on my A+. It only works in PPTP mode... I'm also getting Error 800 in IPsec mode .

Android KitKat working with L2TP/IPSec with pre-shared keys.

iPad IOS 8.x working with L2TP and IPSec

OSX working with L2TP

Haven't done much testing beyond what has worked for me so far.

I'm using IOS 9 on the ipads, and one iphone and the beta 9.1 on another iphone. windows 8 and 10 on laptops. all of these connect via to the almond + using L2TP and IPSEC. as I previously mentioned I'm using DDNS with my connection so I don't get caught in an IP change while away from home. all works smoothly on all devices.

Did you ever figure this out? Now the Apple has dropped PPTP I am desperate to get IPSec working.
