Hello, I set up an xl2tp client using xl2tpd port on OpenBSD amd64 stable. Most of the time I connect to a Mikrotik PPPoE VPN server and the connection runs without problems but sometimes I cannot make a connection. When this happens I see the following in the /var/log/daemon:
tail -f /var/log/daemon | grep xl2tpd Jul 25 13:27:07 nb1 xl2tpd[96632]: Written by Mark Spencer, Copyright (C) 1998, Adtran, Inc.

Closing. Jul 25 13:27:38 nb1 xl2tpd[96632]: Connection 0 closed to 91.234.97.130, port 1701 (Timeout) When I check the port 1701 on the VPN host with netcat it is open. When I ask a VPN admin on their side to check my connection attempts they do not see anything. When I make a connection using Windows or Ubuntu machine at the same time, it connects without problems. What can be the problem? -- Best regards, Maksim Rodin
