3.5.6 L2TP SETTING
L2TP is a popular choice for remote roaming users for VPN applications since an L2TP client is built in to the
Microsoft Windows operating system.
In computer networking, Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) is a tunneling
protocol used to support virtual private networks (VPNs) or as part of the delivery of services by ISPs. It does not
provide any encryption or confidentiality by itself. Rather, it relies on an encryption protocol that it passes within the
tunnel to provide privacy. Below is the L2TP Server Setting interface.
