L2TP VPN not working over internet

Hello Mac Community,

It is pretty clear to me that even though I have forwarded the required ports for L2TP, that Mavericks and Server 3 break the L2TP VPN capabilites I was actively using in Mountain Lion.

I can connect locally, but when done from an external network via port forwarding, L2TP fails to connect. Before you query me on port forwarding and router make and model, let me assure you, I have been successfully doing L2TP VPN with Mountain Lion and Server 2.x.x with no issue. Pretty clear to me that Mavericks broke something.

Suggestions specific to the OS platform are appreciated! (The network is in good working order.)

OSX Server-OTHER
