connecting through VPN to my router at home

I have 2 routers at home:

  • one connected to DSL
  • one connected to TV cable

Therefore I actually have 2 VPN setups.

Through time the VPN setups occasionally seem unfunctional. (Password change, …)

I asked Google AI Mode: How can I check with a networking tool, whether the L2TP/IPsec VPN server is accessible on my router?

macOS does not come with nmap. I already had macports installed. When I tried to install nmap, macports told me:

Current platform “darwin 25” does not match expected platform “darwin 24”

No big deal … – I had to upgrade – it told me how to do this. “_Free_wifi_Berlin” gave me incredible bandwidth, which allowed me to do this upgrade, while sitting in the university restaurant.

Is there a way to do a VPN connect to a L2TP/IPsec VPN server on the command line, and what command line options are there?
