Linux VPN client not working
Dear Experts,
I'm having an impossible time trying to VPN to a Cisco Meraki Firewall with a LInux Ubuntu MATE desktop.
I only need to setup the secret key the username and password. I do not need to have a certificate.
The Linux VPN clients are not working. Is there a script I could use from somewhere?
Thank you!

Sure! The problem I think is asking me for a certificate. Otherwise will not let me keep the configuration. I can do it easily in Windows 10.
I use in Windows 10:
Connection Name
address of Cisco Meraki
VPN type: L2TP/IPSEC with pre-shared key
Pre-shared key
User name
Password
Once I create that entry I go the network adapter settings and change the Security to:
Allow These protocols:
PAP
CHAP
MS-CHAP -v2
