How to connect to L2TP/IPsec VPN for linux users

Connecting to L2TP/IPsec VPN client with Linux

CUHK VPN

(Tested on Manjaro, Ubuntu 18.04, Ubuntu 20.04)

Our school uses the L2TP/IPsec with PSK protocol, and I've read plenty of stackexchage and forum posts regarding issues with setting up L2TP/IPsec on a Linux system. After many trials and errors I managed to set it up, and helped friends and colleagues who use Linux as their PC. I haven't shared or replied to any threads about the solution I found, primarily because I don't really know why the other methods didn't work and why this setting in particular works 🤷 So here we go.

I am going to set this up with the GUI Networkmanger, which should be installed on your MANJARO distro by default, if not, run sudo pacman -S NetworkManager

Next, open up your Networkmanager by Systems Settings > Network - Connections
