Re-enter the pre-shared key, username, and password and check for typos. Lastly, verify that you are authenticating with a pre-shared key and not a certificate.

Also, ensure that client devices are using the MS-CHAP v2 authentication method, and that the VPN type is set to L2TP. Please ensure that all of these match what is configured in your UniFi Network application. This occurs when the VPN server and client have mismatching pre-shared keys, authentication methods, or login credentials. Authentication Failures Due to Incorrect Configuration You can remove existing port forwarding rules in the Firewall & Security section of your UniFi Network application. Once you confirm that your traffic is not being blocked, please ensure that your UniFi gateway is not forwarding these ports to another device on your local network. You may need to contact your ISP to verify that your network traffic is being routed correctly. Make sure that no third-party routers, firewalls, or ISP modems are blocking UDP Ports 500 or 4500 from reaching your UniFi gateway. Required Ports Are Blocked by an Upstream Device or Forwarded by Your UniFi Gateway to Another Device on Your Local Network Please note that IP addresses in the 100.64.0.0/10 subnet range always require ISP assistance in order to establish a VPN connection. For more details, please refer to Microsoft's support page.įor help configuring your device to bridge mode or port forwarding, we recommend contacting your ISP for further assistance. To get around this restriction, you will need to manually change the AssumeUDPEncapsulationContextOnSendRule registry value from 0 to 2.

Note: By default, Windows computers cannot establish L2TP VPN connections with servers behind NAT. Please note that this will not work if your upstream router doesn’t have a public IP address. If this is not possible, try forwarding UDP Ports 5 from the upstream router/modem to your UniFi gateway. To resolve this, set your upstream router to Bridge Mode. You are likely affected if your UniFi gateway has a WAN IP address in one of the following ranges: This typically occurs if your UniFi gateway is located behind another router/modem that uses Network Address Translation (NAT). These events are likely related to one of the following: Your UniFi Gateway Does Not Have a Public IP Address (Double NAT) If your client cannot connect to the VPN server, or is unable to route traffic through the VPN, you may receive error messages stating that the server is not responding, the client disconnected, or that a processing error occurred.

Route all traffic through the VPN by going to Options > Session Options and selecting Send all traffic over VPN connection.

Select L2TP over IPsec in the VPN Type field.Go to System Preferences > Network > +.Click the Security tab, then set your authentication method to MS-CHAP v2.Go to Settings > Network & internet > Advanced network settings > More network adapter options > L2TP Adapter properties.Note: Your username, password, and pre-shared key are the same as those in your UniFi Network settings. Go to Settings > Network & internet > VPN > VPN connections > Add VPN and select L2TP/IPsec with pre-shared key as your VPN type.

We recommend using your operating system’s native VPN client.Īlthough we outline OS-specific client configuration processes below, we still recommend consulting your device’s manufacturer on how to use their platform’s VPN client. You can connect any L2TP VPN client, including those provided by Microsoft Windows or macOS. Although UniFi supports third-party RADIUS server integration, we recommend contacting the third-party server provider if you have troubleshooting questions. Note: Users are linked to the UniFi gateway’s internal RADIUS server. To set up a VPN server, you must create a Pre-shared Key (UniFi generates a secure one automatically) and user credentials ( Username and Password) that are entered on clients to authenticate their remote network access. Note: Dynamic DNS can be used to avoid reconfiguring your clients’ VPN when IP changes occur, but this process is not outlined here.

#Mac ethernet authentication server is not responding update#

Your UniFi gateway will automatically update server-side settings. We recommend obtaining a static public IP address from your ISP to avoid having to reconfigure all of your clients every time your IP changes. VPN server configuration requires a UniFi gateway and a public IP address. It’s faster, more secure, and requires zero configuration.įor more information about Teleport and other VPN options, see our Introduction to UniFi VPNs. We strongly recommend Teleport VPN for most users seeking to remotely access their UniFi OS Console’s network.
