I need to connect to a l2tp vpn at EPFL, using a shared secret. I haven't found a way to do this from Linux so far, and most of the discussion threads I found pointed to strongswan. Do you know a better way?

Did you read the information provided by EPFL?

http://epnet.epfl.ch/Remote-Internet-Access

When I was working at EPFL, I personally used vpnc as described in <http://flashinformatique.epfl.ch/IMG/pdf/5-4-page3.pdf>

However, that might not work anymore (last used in 2011).

Cheers

Stan

Regards,

Torsten

where are you using this? i always perceived strongswan to be rather
niche, most people use either openvpn or one of the cisco vpns (vpnc,
openconnect). all of these three variants are nicely supported with any
linux system since years.
