[strongSwan] help setting up basic VPN on ubuntu

[Imran Akbar]

Hi everyone,
    thanks for such a well-developed and maintained library.

I'm trying to setup Ipsec/L2TP on my Ubuntu 14 server with IKEv2 and a PSK.

I've read through a bunch of tutorials online:
http://trick77.com/2014/05/04/strongswan-5-vpn-ubuntu-14-04-lts-psk-xauth/
http://www.foteviken.de/?p=2175
http://endlessroad1991.blogspot.com/2014/04/setup-ipsec-vpn-on-ec2.html

and I've opened up UDP ports 500 & 4500, but I still have clients
complaining about gateway timeouts and not being able to connect to the VPN.

Is there some sort of a configuration script that can walk you through all
the necessary steps to get this working, or a gist that someone could share
of their config?
I don't see anything in my /var/log/auth.conf that's indicative of VPN
traffic.

yours,
imran
