MACOS and L2TP

Hi,

Has anyone else had issue with L2TP and MACOS 11?
I have a configuration that works fine with Windows boxes, but with the Mac it will connect, but refuses to send traffic to the firebox. So it stays connected and then times out and drops off.
This happens on a few different devices i've tested. Using the inbuilt Mac vpn client.

thanks

    Hi @Abertay
    I've had previous macs where this was set up with no issue. If traffic isn't even leaving the local PC, that suggests a route problem. Are the source and destination network different subnets?

    Unless you have a specific reason to be using L2TP, I'd suggest using IKEv2. It comes with a set-up script that automatically sets up the VPN.

    Got to the bottom of it in the end. Just needs the 'force all traffic down tunnel' box ticked in the advanced section of the vpn profile on the mac.
