Trouble Getting My VPN Server To Work
So when I try to connect my clients to my VPN server within my network using the server's local IP everything works fine. However, once I try connecting my laptop to the VPN through my public IP it doesn't work. My Windows 10 laptop says "The L2TP connection attempt failed because the security layer encountered a processing error during initial negotiations with the remote computer." I have double checked and my username, password, and secret which are all entered correctly. Also I have double checked and I know that my router is port forwarded correctly. Any solutions would be greatly appreciated!
Here is the server side VPN log:
