What is the process of setting up l2tp and which is the smallest/simplest/best implementation to use? Preferably one with few dependencies - and one that works. Is xl2tpd the one you would recommend?

I never used something else xl2tpd. It was recomended on my provider's forum. Set up process is like on pptp.

cat /etc/xl2tpd/xl2tpd.conf
[global]
access control = no
auth file = /etc/ppp/chap-secrets
debug avp = no
debug network = no
debug packet = no
debug state = no
debug tunnel = no

[lac L2TP.freedom]
lns = l2tp.freedom
redial = yes
redial timeout = 30
max redials = 1000000
require chap = yes
require authentication = no
name = icl2tp
ppp debug = no
pppoptfile = /etc/ppp/peers/vrn-ihome-l2tp
require pap = no
autodial = yes

after xl2tpd starts, you can manage connection with

echo "c L2TP.freedom" >/var/run/xl2tpd/l2tp-control

or

echo "d L2TP.freedom" >/var/run/xl2tpd/l2tp-control

which means connect/disconnect

you should also setup ppp files before

(/etc/ppp/peers/vrn-ihome-l2tp and /etc/ppp/chap-secrets)

New link to xl2tpd is http://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/i686/xl2tpd/

It is easy to maintain, PKGBUILD is clear.

Since the package "xl2tpd" is now in [community] repos, this task can be closed as "Implemented"?

How can I download xl2tp from community if I can not get internet connection without it? or it is already added to install iso?
Comment by Thomas Bächler (brain0) - Monday, 25 January 2010, 10:36 GMT
If that is a showstopper, then we need to put it in core, so the installable package will be on the installation media.
Comment by Paul Mattal (paul) - Saturday, 06 March 2010, 20:05 GMT
Is there any other way to designate packages to go on the installation media? I feel like this came up recently for something else, but can't recall what.

As core has lots of other implications (e.g. signoffs), it would be good to have a way to get things onto the install media without their having to be in core.

Could we create an "installer" group that spans the repos and includes packages that should be on the installation media?

What's the status of this issue?
Comment by Vitaly (jauthu) - Wednesday, 10 August 2011, 01:22 GMT
It is not a problem to download xl2tpd(or pptpd, which is also very popular in Russia) and install them just after Arch Installation. But it is much more convinient to have all needed for internet setup right on the ISO.
