Re: [Astlinux-users] L2TP on Astlinux

Actually thinking I will use SSTP for VPN to the management and monitoring environment as it appears to be much better suited for the task.

Hi thanks Christopher

Interesting you mention this as I am currently developing a solution whereby I'm going to put all my Astlinux systems in the cloud and connect remotely to it via Mikrotik switches in router mode, essentially creating a telephony gateway appliance.
These are the products I will be using:
https://mikrotik.com/product/crs112_8p_4s_in
https://mikrotik.com/product/crs328_24p_4s_rm
https://mikrotik.com/product/crs354_48p_4s_2q_rm

From the gateway, I will have a management VPN terminating into our management and monitoring environment (Unimus and Zabbix) and a VPN directly to the Astlinux VM.
I want to use Wireguard and I think 7.1b6 is getting very close to production ready and it has worked well for months in my home office. If L2TP works well I may use this in the interim while testing Wireguard or maybe just to the management and monitoring environment.

I'm assuming you use Mikrotik CHR in the NOC? Have you ever connected L2TP directly to an Astlinux system?

Thanks all.

Regards
Michael Knill

for my remote workers I use a little Mikrotik POE router, establishes an L2TP tunnel to a Mikrotik in my NOC which then talks to my Asterisk Server..   phones work perfectly in this manner and voice is encrypted, no SIP ports open to the public side..  handles NAT situations in people's homes pretty well (as long as they dont have junk like EERO)

Hi Michael,

I looked at it last year, when V85 was released.
The Yealink L2TP implementation doesn't even support a static PSK. Only username/password.
