It looks like the script doesn’t actually run on the created droplet? I logged into it manually and executed the script your project says it’s using, and I used the output from that to login just fine.

Is it okay to upgrade to Ubuntu 16.04?

It’s super easy, and works perfectly! I created this server and it works find on my android phone. Two questions: Q1. How to connect from Windows 7? I tried https://kb.iweb.com/hc/en-us/articles/230267328-Configuring-new-VPN-L2TP-IPSec-connections-in-Windows-7 , but in the end I cannot connect. Q2. How can I add more vpn users? and how to change their password? It seems the default vpn user “vpnuser” can be used only on one phone. If I want it serves more people, I have to create one vpn user for each of them, correct?

Thanks!

It can be used with any lt2p client supporting the PSK handshake, so virtually every system, just search for the VPN setup option of your system and write down the access informations. I am trying to connect to my Amsterdam droplet from a PC in Shanghai but I think that in some ways the Isps are throttling me down.
