I am unable to use IPSEC and L2TP VPN to connect home. I have ran packet tracer and can't see the connection to my firewall. There is supposed to be a VPN passthrough option in the modem which is missing from the FIZZ modem.
Anyone else having issues connecting to IPSEC/L2TP?

Did you try to contact the support? Since if the option is not present, you cannot do much.7

These options does not exist on mine either3

I did, about two weeks ago. They asked me three times what exactly I am trying to achieve, and they have escalated it to their network engineers and so far no response since 2 weeks.4

Ok, then I am not the only one waiting for an answer
I have a problem with my profile and I cannot use some functions.
I know that you will not like this, but can you change the router and use that one as modem?7 -
my last resort would be to put the modem in bridge mode and use my firewall as my router.3

I believe is your best option at the moment. Personally I do not like to be force to use limited router 7

The only problem with that is that I am currently using two different firewall/VPN gateways, and they're both connected to the Fizz modem. If I put it in bridge mode, the Fizz modem won't hand off two public IPs.
I'd have to resort to a re-architecture, and spin off a segregated VLAN for the other Gateway.3 -
Sami why your are talking of two public IP? If you put the router in bridge mode your public IP will be taken care of your router, and the Nat/route of this router. If the VPN is in this router after that is the route that it will take care of everything6

Hi Mike,
Sure that would work for one of my VPN/FIREWALL gateways. I have two VPN/Firewall gateways both have their own vlans and routes, and those routes are shared amongst both gateways, so if I was to plug one gateway into another, it would hit a routing loop unless I created a special VLAN and segregated the wan for the second gateway to it's own subnet.
I hope I was able to explain what I am trying to accomplish.2 -
When you talked about VLAN I thought that was a misuse as for the firewall. Are the 2 VPN servers or the clients. If they are the server probably you can try to use not standard ports with the port forward. But I am stopping since if you know the VLAN and how to segment a network, probably you understand very well how to make a work around. But you are looking for the easy way using your hardware.5

So IPSEC all of a sudden started working about 2-3 months ago. Not sure if it had to do with the 2.0.10.43b8 firmware update.0
