I'm trying to create/deploy a VPN to solve a connection issue regarding a game I'm playing (Xbox). For this, I'm setting up a VPN on a EC2 machine on AWS and I want to connect from a home router. I have tried VPN services (ExpressVPN) but they offer 2 alternatives.

• OpenVPN -> I cannot connect from my router (TP-LINK AC 1750).
• L2TP/ipsec -> Works, but does not offer support on the required region (Brazil, Sao Paulo).

My router allows PPTP and L2TP without shared secret.

I haven't found any information on how to setup a L2TP server on Ubuntu Server without a shared secret. For now, I have deployed a PPTP VPN that I can connect to, but I need the L2TP solution.

Do you have any information, link, tutorial or anything on How to Setup a L2TP VPN without a Shared Key (only user & pass) with Ubuntu Server? (Ideally 20.04)

PS: My interest is not on security, but rather "being" on the Brazil region.

PS 2: The most similar that I have found are this, but I cannot adapt them to use without Shared Secret (they are PKI) ->

Best regards, thanks!
