Setting up VPN through HG659

[heruka]

I recently got Vodacom ftth, with a Huawei HG659 router. Problem is that I cannot get it configured correctly to allow me to VPN to an AWS VPC using L2TP.

Has anyone had success with this?

I think you will have to get an Unrestricted APN from vodacom. The normal internet apn that vodacom supply is heavily firewalled, does not allow incoming connections etc. The unrestricted apn is free thought. Just give the customer care line a call and ask them to activate the service.

Hi heruka
Not sure if you came right but I have been having the same issue.
I think the issue is the HG659 router doesnt allow L2TP passthrough. Doesnt have anything to do with the vodacom network

The router will not allow you to setup a port forward for the L2TP port, just in case someone was going to suggest this.
