Firmware 3.203 uses OpenWrt 1907 which does not have luci-proto-pptp and luci-proto-l2tp packages. So here is how you can set up pptp and l2tp in luci.

# Step 1: Install Luci

In firmware 3.203, first go to advanced settings and you are prompted to install Luci. Click the button and install it. After you install, click the Luci link and go to Luci.

After you go to luci-\>network-\>interfaces, add a new interface, you do not have pptp and l2tp

# Step 2: Install necessary packages.

From OpenWrt 1907, you need to install the two ipk `ppp-mod-pptp` and `xl2tpd` and you will have l2tp and pptp in luci.

Now go to Application-\>Plugins and install them. Do not forget to refresh the repo before you do it.

# Step 3: Reboot the router

You have to reboot the router so that Luci interface will update. After reboot you can enter Luci and you will find pptp and l2tp.

is this really working, why can’t it connect, pptp doesn’t appear on the interface and l2tp can’t connect.

At least the UI should have these items. For cannot connect problem, need to check the logs etc.
