I need to connect to a L2TP IPsec VPN using Ubuntu 14.10. I previously used L2TP IPsec VPN Manager 1.0.9 from Werner Jaeger in Ubuntu 14.04, and it worked great, but that no longer appears to be supported in 14.10. I have xl2tpd installed. I no longer see the option to add a L2TP Ipsec VPN connection under the VPN Connections menu in Network Connections. Any help or guidance is appreciated.
The lt2p-ipsec-vpn package was deprecated along with OpenSwan. Ubuntu has replaced OpenSwan with StrongSwan, which is available in the
main
, along with a corresponding network manager plugin inuniverse
.StrongSwan should work with xl2tpd
I know it's a best practice to paste the actual scripts but it's quite a bit. And honestly a link here would have saved me some trouble so hopefully someone finds this useful...

Maybe after I'm done I'll share the final script.

A few implementation notes
