I want to post a quick clarification about policy. Developer Forums is, as indicated by the name, a site to discuss developer issues. That puts this thread somewhat off topic because L2TP has no API surface. The API we do have for setting up the built-in VPN transports,
NEVPNManager aka
Personal VPN, does not support legacy VPN protocols like L2TP.
Given that, this discussion would be better suited to
Apple Support Communities, run by Apple Support, and specifically the
in Business and Education topic areas, where you’re more likely to find folks with L2TP experience.
Having said that, we’re not going to do anything silly here, like lock the thread. While we discourage off-topic conversations, they don’t actually cause that much harm.
However, you’re unlikely to get more answers from DTS here. DTS does not provide formal support via DevForums but, even if we did, we don’t support this. DTS’s role here at Apple is to support the APIs in our platform SDKs, Apple tools, some Apple services (like notarisation), and accessory development. We don’t support the behaviour of built-in system components, like L2TP. That’s the purview of Apple Support.
Finally, if you believe that L2TP is not working correctly, the first thing to do is to
file a bug against it. That’s the best way to get your feedback in front of the engineers who have the power to fix such bugs.
So, to summarise:
If you’d like to see Apple make a change here, please file a bug.
If you’re seeking informal help, or just want to discuss this issue with your peers, you should pop on over to Apple Support Communities.
If you’re seeking formal support, you should talk to Apple Support.
Best of luck!
Share and Enjoy
