    Hi @Iraklizh ,

    I follow the video and set up it step by step, the tunnel build up successfully, and I can ping to Lan host without issue.

    Can you post USG error log when you connect to?

    BTW, the certificate must import to “Computer account”, instead of “My user account”. Tunnel will build up fail if you import to “My user account”.

    Windows certificate snap-ins


    USG log at “Monitor > Log”

    i can now ping default gateway on the remote subnet, and when i go to internet, i can go there via remote public ip. all this ok, but my issue to access to rdp server in this remote network. The address of remote network rdp server is 192.168.1.200 and when i connected by l2tp vpn i cannot ping it also other devices connected in remote lan cannot be pinged from my connected pc via vpn.

    Hi @Iraklizh ,

    Please assign another pool for l2tp client. There is no need to assign same subnet as lan subnet 192.168.1.X/24.

    Also, 192.168.2.X/24 is another interface subnet in USG. Don’t use both subnet for l2tp pool.

    You can set the l2tp pool to 192.168.99.20~40 and try it again.
