I'm setting up LT2p over IPSec on my Centos 6.3 fresh install.

I have iptables flushed, permit all.

Whenever I try to connect, i get a 'no reply from vpn' and nothi

Here's my ipsec.conf file (Server is 1.2.3.4) :

config setup
    nat_traversal=yes
    virtual_private=%v4:10.0.0.0/8,%v4:192.168.0.0/16,%v4:172.16.0.0/12
    oe=off
    protostack=netkey

conn L2TP-PSK-NAT
    rightsubnet=vhost:%priv
    also=L2TP-PSK-noNAT

conn L2TP-PSK-noNAT
    authby=secret
    pfs=no
    auto=add
    keyingtries=3
    rekey=no
    ikelifetime=8h
    keylife=1h
    type=transport
    left=1.2.3.4
    leftprotoport=17/1701
    right=%any
    rightprotoport=17/%any

My /etc/ipsec.secrets

1.2.3.4 %any: PSK "password"

My sysctl.conf (appened lines)

net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1
net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 0
net.ipv4.conf.all.send_redirects = 0
net.ipv4.conf.default.send_redirects = 0
net.ipv4.conf.all.log_martians = 0
net.ipv4.conf.default.log_martians = 0
net.ipv4.conf.default.accept_source_route = 0
net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_redirects = 0
net.ipv4.conf.default.accept_redirects = 0
net.ipv4.icmp_ignore_bogus_error_responses = 1

Here's what 'ipsec verify' gives:

# ipsec verify

And I see xl2tpd is listening on 1701/udp :
