L2TP and PPTP functionality on home network ?

The VPN Activator is just a GUI to the L2TP server buildt into ML. S I assume the SW does not configure this feature. Have already sent an email to the developer http://netputing.com/ .

But independent from this, this should be also possible from commandline. Any idea where to find info how to do this in ML if the developer does not answer?

Server.app , you mean the ML server or is this a third party SW? if yes, do you have link?

Ok thanks. (I do not use the OSX server anymore, webdav server is not compatible with most iPad apps and some other issues)

Anyway I figured it out. Was some mistake on my side during testing. I can reach all machines on the primary network interface of my MBP, but no machines on any virtual networks of MBP (neorouter network etc). If I connect my iPad via L2TP to my MBP and then use IP of a windows machine (on same home network, a VM) I can do port forwarding with a port mapper http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/Network/pmapper/Freeware.htm on my windows VM to any virtual network, is tested and works. Well would be nice to avoid the windows VM and do the port forwarding on MBP itself. Have not found any good instructions how to do this on the new pf firewall in ML. For old Firewall ipfw are some instructions on Google, but I can not find anything for the new FW called pf. Also to use the firewall frontend for pf http://www.hanynet.com/icefloor/ seems overkill and very complicated. Any idea where to find portforwarding instructions for pf firewall in ML?

Thanks again, Wolfgang

My MBP at home is connected to router Airport Extreme via 10.0.53.x network, any machine on this network I can reach. I assume the route is set to this network. At the same time the MBP is also on a virtual network (Neorouter VPN, www.neorouter.com, so MBP has 2 different IP addresses on different networks) so the neorouter network is 10.0.0.x. From my MBP I can reach from MBP directly any machine on 10.0.53.x and also directly any machine on 10.0.0.x. But from iPad connected to MBP via L2TP I can only reach the physical network 10.0.53.x

ok, the vpnd config looks like this:

=========================================================

in hostconfi is nothing, also nothing in networkconfig

As from my MBP all works to reach the virtual network, the regular route setting should be ok (I am not sure if it is a good idea to add with "route command" a new route when all routes are already working when done locally form MBP, so the new route should only apply for L2TP but not for any other applications on MBP). So where should the new route be configured for the VPN. In vpnd ?, this is not clear for me in the vpnd man pages? In vpnd config file I can only see the assigned IP address range for the L2TP client (and this is the physical network, where all works).

Thanks a lot!
