L2TP with IPSec PSK VPN Keeps Connecting

 I tried to access from home WiFi to a workplace L2TP/IPSec Pre-Shared Key VPN gateway, but the Windows 10 built-in VPN kept connecting. I had asked my ISP customer service team, and they told me that their technical support team would contact me to sort out this problem. I had a doubt that there would be something to be configured or enabled in my Internet WiFi router. I accessed to the route, and enable ALG switch as the below snapshot, and then I tested it again; the VPN gets connected; booom, it works!

Spyder IDE complaints, for dependencies, about jedi = 0.17.2 : None (NOK) & parso = 0.7.0 : 0.8.1 (NOK)

 After upgrading Spyder to version 4.2.1 on Ubuntu 18.04, it complaints, for dependencies, about

jedi = 0.17.2 : None (NOK)

parso = 0.7.0 : 0.8.1 (NOK)

I tried to install jedi, and parso using pip3 as below:

pip3 install jedi parso

But it does not fix the error.

It seems the problem is fixed when I install "Anaconda3-2020.11-Linux-x86_64.sh"

cd ~ballah/Downloads

chmod +x Anaconda3-2020.11-Linux-x86_64.sh

sudo ./Anaconda3-2020.11-Linux-x86_64.sh

You can check the dependencies from Help menu whether all they are resolved.
