    Did you setup correctly your windows registry for assuming that USG20 and windows are both behind a NAT?

    To address this, can we try to build the L2TP VPN connection from our Windows PC to your USG20W?
    If okay, please kindly share the connection information with us in a private message, the connection information contains:(1).Server IP address(2).L2TP/IPsec pre-shared key (3).user name (4). password.
    Or you can use another windows PC to establish L2TP VPN to USG20W and see if this symptom mainly happens on the specific PC.

    A lot of pieces need to be put together to allowing a nice connection.
    Did you changed cypher and hash algorithm from default?
    Did you verify into your VPN connection the correct setup of PAP/CHAP?

    There's still this post as reference for doing a nice connection, unfortunately is missing the part related to NAT on both endpoints (which is quite a default in Italy)

    ookkkk sorry it works noW!  i have unselected the other 2 protocols as in picture( somewhere else i have found that i should select them all) and also verified inside the ADVANCED tab..where there was no preshared key inserted, even if i have inserted when create connection with the new wizard. SO now ita works!
    Thank you!
