You can do another way is to create a pool and then call in the profile. Local IP: 192.168.1.1 (Same for all PPTP user), Remote IP: 192.168.1.241 (It must be unique), It is better to assign IP statically so that you know which user is using which IP. Tick this box to enable IPSec pre-shared key. To do this, we will go to PPP and click on L2TP button.ģ. Remote user must connect to the internet and is able to reach office router’s Public IP. Ok let’s see the diagram to understand our lab scenario.

For this reason, many network experts recommend to user LT2P VPN server to connect remote user. So today, we will see how a remote user can connect to Head office Network using L2TP encrypted tunnel and avail an IP address from the same IP network of head office so that the remote user can work from anywhere. It could be 1701 port or any other UDP port. L2TP uses UDP port 1701 for link establishment, then further traffic is used any available UDP port. And I am showing you the configuration of L2TP with IPsec preshared key.” But the most secure way to encrypt data is using L2TP over IPsec. L2TP is just as any other tunneling protocol with or without encryption.

L2TP incorporates PPP and MPPE (Microsoft Point to Point Encryption) to make encrypted links. According to Mikrotik Wiki “L2TP is a secure tunnel protocol for transporting IP traffic using PPP.
