I'm trying to find the correct vpn plugin so I can vpn in to a server. The server requirements are vpn server, username/password and shared secret. I've installed a few vpn plugins, but I haven't found the correct one that has the shared secret option. Anyone know which one it is? I've tried a few from the Add/Remove Software application.
Thanks,

You need to know what kind of VPN you're dealing with: OpenVPN? IPSec? whatever?

It is a L2TP/IPSec server.

Google seems to say to install openswan + xl2tpd (from epel repository).

OK Thanks. I'll try that.

@Wes James,
From now on, you should refer to plugins as packages :)
Sorry for OT

Obrigado, mais....
In the Add/Remove programs in the the names of the packages they have "plugin" in several of the VPN options.
Chauzinho....

I found this:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/L2TP/IPsec_VPN_client_setup
and it seems quite the effort to set up a vpn client. I started the process, but when I get to:
ipsec auto --add L2TP-PSK
I get an unexpected CONN error.
I'll keep looking.
Thanks,

In which distro are you trying to configure?
Anything on ipsec logs ?
In case you're working on CentOS or any RHEL based, try setting SELinux to permissive ( setenforce 0 )

I'm using CentOS 6.4 x64.
I wonder if the instructions for setting it up have different options based on its age. The one the installs on CentOS may not have the options he is talking about.

Maybe try this (untested) one: http://agix.com.au/blog/?p=3063

Thanks. This looks like a setup for making a vpn server. I'm just trying to get a client working.

Setting up an IPSec client via trial and error is an absolute pain. The best results I've had have been with the Shrew Soft (https://www.shrew.net/) client. You may still have to monkey around with the settings for a while but I felt that my chances for success were dramatically increased by using it. I have the occasional network memory exhaustion problem but reconnecting clears it and if it was too much of a pain, I'd spend some time tracking it down.

Thanks. I was just about to try it, but I got some info back from our IT folks and they have a new vpn solution going in and I tried it and it works on centos 6.4 so I'm just going to role with that :)
Thanks for everyone's help!
