Since none of the found instructions worked for me: here are my settings
|
|
|
|
|
of my VPN tunnel into HAMNET. I'm currently using Fedora 36 on my main notebook
|
|
|
|
|
and Fedora removed PPTP support back in Fedora 35 -- I could not get the PPTP
|
|
|
|
|
tunnel working.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## L2TP client
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I found a document that shows the creation of an L2TP tunnel on MacOS and I
|
|
|
|
|
used that as my starting point.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
First of all, install NetworkManager-l2tp-gnome:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
|
|
|
$ sudo dnf install NetworkManager-l2tp-gnome
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After that, create the new VPN tunnel in `Settings` → `Network` → `VPN`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Click the <kbd>+</kbd> button and select `Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP)`
|
|
|
|
|
and fill in the settings that you got from your Administrator (usually where
|
|
|
|
|
you got your login data). I got mine from [RWTH Aachen in Germany][1].

## More information
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I've also found some more links -- just when I finished formatting this article.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It looks like the following article is online since 2018; but I found this after
|
|
|
|
|
I started using the L2TP tunnel that I just created a few hours before. It
|
|
|
|
|
describes the setup of an OpenVPN client, but it is limited to users with a
|
|
|
|
|
static HAMNET IP address.
