Openswan+xl2tpd VPN xl2tpd failure


I'm having some problems getting a VPN set up, hopefully someone will be able help me figure out what I'm missing.

Currently I'm trying to set up a 'roadwarrior' config, because I can't be certain what the remote IP will be, I need to allow it to connect to the VPN from anywhere.

The host server has a public IP, the remote computer is expected to be behind a router presumably with NAT.

To clarify, the IPSec connection is negotiated successfully, but the connection is terminated abruptly after that, without any type of authentication negotiation happening.

Additional Info:
My home network, from where I've done the majority of my testing is behind a dd-wrt router, on which I have enabled IPSec and L2TP pass through, so there shouldn't be any problems there. I've also tried connecting from my phone while having a 3G connection, and I've also tried from two other outside networks, both work and school. The logs are all pretty much identical, and fail during Phase 2 negotiation.

Tested Clients:
OSX 10.8
Windows 7
Android 4.2.1

If I've left any information out, please feel free to let me know, I'll be happy to provide anything else I can to help diagnose this.

Well after endless hours of troubleshooting, launching xl2tpd in debug mode xl2tpd -D helped me track down the typos issues preventing the authentication negotiation to take place. Mainly that [global] and [lns default] in xl2tpd.conf should not be commented out.
