I am trying to set up a VPN connection to my German FritzBox (Cabel 6490 - FRITZ!OS: 06.87).
I have followed the instruction here: https://en.avm.de/service/vpn/tips-tric ... -in-linux/
I registered with myfritz.de and I received a "publick URL" for my fritzbox (owlxxxxxxxxxx6xh.myfritz.net). I can access my Fritzbox via this adress.
In my Fritzbox I have set up a user and enabled VPN
I have a user (with Passwort) and a "shared secret" provided by my fritzbox.
On my client (Version Linux Mint 18.3 Sylvia 64-bit, MATE 1.18.0) I have installed network-manager-vpnc-gnome and all depending packages.
When I click on the network-manager in my task bar, I can add a "cisco compatible network client (vpnc)" as new network connection:
- new VPN-name -
(Tab VPN)
Gateway: owlxxxxxxxxxx6xh.myfritz.net
Username: myusername
User Passwort: ***userpasswort*****
Group Name: myusername
Group Passwort: ****shared secret****
Then I can start "new VPN-name" via the network manager, but I receive an error message: VPN-Connection failed.
When I check /var/log/syslog I receive these messages:
What looks especially strange to me is the line:Aug 5 15:03:57 dev03 NetworkManager[1044]: <info> [1533474237.0826] keyfile: update /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/VPN-Verbindung 1 (ea7e7523-c17d-4597-a1d2-d2871a491ecf,"VPN-Verbindung 1")

Is this the root cause for not connection to VPN?
Any idea, how I can solve this?
Many thanks in advance.
