Tried that but couldn`t get it working and so many people on there at the moment i can`t play. Do you need to set IPsec remote dial-in to DHCP over IPsec?

I have it set to none. I am currently manually assigning a static IP on the user's profile.

How many users do you have connecting? Are you experiencing any issues with users being randomly disconnected?

Currently i have the VPN set up as L2TP over IPSec and a few users have mentioned drop outs. There is 25 connected at the moment Most of the drop outs go away after they use a LAN rather than Wi-Fi but there are still a few even with LAN.

I`ll have another go at the VPN tonight as i noticed a massive speed increase with Xauth.

The speed is blazingly fast I must admit, can't complain about that when it's working and not killing connections!

Managed to get IKEv2 working, wow it is fast. Have managed to get a x15 increase in download speed. I`ll swap a few users over on Monday and see if there are any drop outs.

Thanks for the help.

Great! Glad to hear that you're making progress. Interested to hear if there are any dropouts. Also, what firmware version and hardware are you using?
