<p>Hi Torsten,</p>
<p>I just tried openconnect, but it gets stuck at `DTLS handshake
failed: Resource temporarily unavailable, try again.`</p>
<p>Need to go to bed, leaving for Lausanne at 5:30am tomorrow...</p>
<p>Thanks for your help!</p>

<p class="">If I understand correctly, vpnc-connect also
asks for a group name and group password, which EPFL
did not provide to me. All I have is the l2tp server

Indeed, the configuration details around the shared password
were always needed and could be obtained from the
password-protected Intranet pages of EPFL. The link I send you
also mentions openconnect to be compatible with their Cisco
Anyconnect VPN servers, which is packaged for Debian:</div>

<p class="">A few years ago, I tried a
similar anyconnect installer script from
ETH and it screwed up other vpn
connections I had working, so I wanted to
avoid this, as I now have a working ETH
vpn connection, which I need to keep. 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 class=""><br class="">

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>

<pre class="" wrap="">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.

Daniel
