NetworkManager: VPN Connection Time Out

Hi
I am arch linux user. I have purchased a VPN account from a local vpn provider. Its a l2tp over ipsec (type) connection. I have installed "networkmanager-l2tp" from AUR and created VPN connection from NetworkManager but the problem is that it is iving following error:

Quote:

The vpn connection "MyVPN" failed because the connection attempt tImed out

Here is the configuration from NetworkManager:

Code:

[connection]

id=MYVPN

type=vpn

autoconnect=false

permissions=user:xguest2587:;

secondaries=



[vpn]

password-flags=0

ipsec-group-name=<my_vpn>

require-mppe=yes

user=<vpn_username>

ipsec-psk=<my_psk>

refuse-eap=yes

refuse-chap=yes

ipsec-gateway-id=<gateway_id>

gateway=<vpnserver.com>

refuse-pap=yes

service-type=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.l2tp



[vpn-secrets]

password=<vpn_password>



[ipv4]

dns-search=

method=auto



[ipv6]

dns-search=

method=auto

Why VPN is giving a timeout error? Is there any problem in this config file? Kindly help me to fix this problem.
Regards

Review the /var/log/NetworkManager logfile for errors etc. However, if you're using systemd with journal file, you'll need to examine output using journalctl

http://www.freedesktop.org/software/...ournalctl.html

The company has sent me openvpn file which solved the problem.

Well there you go then. :)
