/interface l2tp-server server set enabled=yes use-ipsec=yes \ ipsec-secret=YourStrongSharedSecret default-profile=default-encryption PPP → Interfaces → L2TP Server → Enable, Use IPsec: yes , Secret: YourStrongSharedSecret ⚠️ Use a strong shared secret (like X9k#2mPq$7vL ). This is not a user password but a pre-shared key for IPsec. Step 3: Create VPN Profile Assign IP pool, DNS, and enable encryption. Use IPsec: yes
