Comparison of vpn protocols pptp ipsec and l2tp
IPsec is a whole family of connection protocols. Most of the time, IPSec is used with the key exchange protocols ikev1 (aka Cisco IPSec) or ikev2. L2TP/IPSec is less common nowadays. Like PPTP, IPSec is available “out of the box” in most modern operating systems. IPSec tries to fix the known weaknesses of PPTP, which works well in most cases.
