As an alternative to the installer script, the ETH web site gives clear instructions how to connect to vpn manually through the network manager from linux, which worked very well. EPFL only has the installer script and the l2tp way, so I would like to use l2tp instead of the installer script if possible. Unfortunately, the network manager does not seem to have this capability.</p> </div> </div> </blockquote> <div><br class=""> </div> yes, anyconnect was a huge pain already back then. Even though, they did not advertise it, vpnc-connect continued to work very well, so that I switched back. Unfortunately, I don’t have anymore a backup around of my vpnc.conf from that time.</div> <div> <div class=""> <div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;" class=""> </div> </div> <blockquote type="cite" class=""> <div class=""> <div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" class=""> <p class="">Cheers</p> <p class="">Stan</p> </div> </div> </blockquote> Regards,</div> <div><br class=""> </div> <div>Torsten<br class=""> <blockquote type="cite" class=""> <div class=""> <div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" class=""> <p class=""></p> <br class=""> <div class="moz-cite-prefix">On 05/03/2017 02:55 PM, Mähne Torsten wrote:<br class=""> </div> <blockquote cite="mid:4400FFC3-A824-4B50-892B-3869510069BC@bfh.ch" type="cite" class=""> <br class=""> <div class=""> <div style="letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;" class=""> <div style="font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;" class=""> <font class="" face="Menlo-Regular"><span style="font-size: 11px;" class="">Hello Stan,</span></font></div> <div style="font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;" class=""> <font class="" face="Menlo-Regular"><span style="font-size: 11px;" class=""><br class=""> </span></font></div> </div> </div> <div class=""> <blockquote type="cite" class=""> <div class="">Am 03.05.2017 um 14:43 schrieb Stan Schymanski <<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="mailto:stanislaus.schymanski@sdsc.ethz.ch" class="">stanislaus.schymanski@sdsc.ethz.ch</a>>:</div> <br class="Apple-interchange-newline"> <div class=""> <div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" class=""> <p class="">I need to connect to <span style="font-size:11.0pt" class="">a l2tp vpn at EPFL, using a shared secret.
