UniFi - USG L2TP VPN could not be established
Sometimes with L2TP VPN on a USG, a user who was able to connect before, can't connect again.
If you want fast and reliable UniFi hosting, check out HostiFi with expert support, regular backups, managed updates and prices from $19 per month.
To learn more about our hosting plans, create an account or book a free demo to get started.
A possible cause is that they didn't disconnect properly, for example, by shutting down their PC while still connected to the VPN. That leaves their session open on the USG and they can't reconnect if they are already connected. This can be fixed by restarting the VPN service or rebooting the USG.
This command shows the connected VPN sessions:
show vpn ipsec sa
These commands restart the L2TP IPsec VPN sessions:
sudo service xl2tpd restart
sudo ipsec restart
