L2TP/IPsec Explained: Why It's Still Around, and Why It Shouldn't Be | VPN Protocols Deep Dive 04

What L2TP/IPsec actually is. The 5-layer packet structure, the shared-PSK problem, setup on 4 platforms, Windows error codes 789 and 691, and how to migrate to IKEv2 or WireGuard. This is an episode of "VPN Protocols Deep Dive," a full English re-recording of the Chinese series covering one protocol each: WireGuard, OpenVPN, IPsec/IKEv2, L2TP/IPsec, PPTP, SSTP, SSL VPN, and Tailscale/ZeroTier. Every episode follows the same structure: why it matters, how it works, performance, real configuration and commands, troubleshooting, and when to choose it.
