vpngate.net and L2TP/IPsec or OpenVPN


I have tried to configure my NetworkManager on Wheezy to work with VPNgate.net I used to use on my Win 7 I have now ditched in favour of Debian.


Here what I did so far but no success:

1. Open Applications -> System Tools -> Add/Remove Software and search for “Network-manager”

2. Click in the result found (network-manager-gnome)

3. Tick the box “OpenVPN plugin GNOME GUI” and then “Apply”

4. Download the OpenVPN config file from http://www.vpngate.net/en/

5. On my Android, I would check that the OpenVPN is actually working

6. In NetworkManager -> VPN Connections -> Configure VPN -> Import and load the specific file for TCP connection

7. Not sure where the problem is, but NetworkManager it would not loud the User Certificate, CA Certificate and
Private Key as well as Private Key Password, so I would create them manually copying info from the *.ovpn file

8. CERTIFICATE.crt for the certificate file of the destination VPN Server. <ca> .... </ca>
Only this info:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
.............................
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

9. DUMMY_CERTIFICATE.crt for the client certificate file <cert> .... </cert>
Only this info:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
.............................
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

10. RSA_PRIVATE_KEY.key for the private key <key> .... </key>
Only this info:
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
.............................
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

11. Load the certificates:
DUMMY_CERTIFICATE.crt in User Certificate
CERTIFICATE.crt in CA Certificate
RSA_PRIVATE_KEY.key in Private Key
vpn in Private Key Password
and Save


I can then connect sucessfully, but can not get access to any sites, looking at the Connection Information in
NetworkManager I have still my local IP address :(



I have not found any plug-in for NetworkManager to connect using L2TP/IPsec PSK in Add/Remove Software,
so just wanted to check that someone managed to connect using this method to any of the VPNGate.net servers?

I have found an article on how to setup L2TP on Debian, but that is beyond my skills :(

Unlimited VPN service http://www.unlimitvpn.com/l2tp-vpn-provider/ provides you with OpenVPN and L2TP connection to get two secured VPN connections on two of your devices at the same time
