Hi all,

OK, I got VPN (L2TP/IPsec) up and running. I'm able to connect to my LAN and all from a remote location. All seems to work just fine..

BUT....
Since I'm no VPN guru I don't know if I did everything correctly - That's where you guys come in ;)
I followed this guide (the Client to LAN part of it, anyway).

I would like to be able to establish a secure connection from "anywhere in the world" (where it's possible to connect via an L2TP/IPsec VPN connection) to my LAN using Laptops, Smart Phones and Tablets (not site to site, yet). I want the connection to be as secure as possible using my TL-ER604W Router.
Don't I have to specify any encryption methods for IPsec?? - According to this fine article IPsec "just" provides the mechanism NOT the method to establish a secure connection.

Here's what I have (highlights):
4 different IKE Proposals saved in one IKE Policy [Main mode] (high encryption first, low encryption last) - Is this a good thing??
[*] Enabled Encryption under "L2TP/PPTP Tunnel".
[*] Enabled IPsec.


What about the different IP-ranges, all the different encryption methods etc.

I know this is a lot to ask (to teach me about VPN's) - I just need this to work the right way.


Please see this thread for further info about my current setup.


Kind regards
