<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400"><strong>Android Nougat</strong> is the 7th generation of the extremely popular <span style="text-decoration: underline">Android</span> operating system which is used in countless <span style="text-decoration: underline">smartphones</span> and other devices such as <span style="text-decoration: underline">smart TV’s</span> and <span style="text-decoration: underline">TV boxes</span>. Since we are talking about smartphones in particular, most of our usage of it is related to the internet. Recently the internet has not been as <span style="text-decoration: underline">private</span>, <span style="text-decoration: underline">secure</span>, or <span style="text-decoration: underline">free</span> as it used to be and this is why the use of a <span style="text-decoration: underline">virtual private network</span> or <em>VPN</em> has become very essential. VPN’s use multiple <span style="text-decoration: underline">security protocols</span> to secure the connection between the users and the VPN servers. One of which is the <span style="text-decoration: underline">Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol</span> or <em>L2TP</em>. Now L2TP on its own is neither as reliable or as secure as other protocols but when acquainted with <span style="text-decoration: underline">Internet Protocol Security</span> or <em>IPSec</em> it becomes one of the most secure protocols. With that being said, in this tutorial we will be showing you how to manually configure a VPN’s <strong>L2TP/IPSec</strong> connection on your Android Nougat device.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400"><strong>Tomato</strong> is a <em>Linux</em> based firmware that was developed to enhance wireless routers’ functions, controls and capabilities. It was originally released in 2008 and has since become very popular in that it gave the ability to regular, older routers to be upgraded to high-end wireless routers. A fully enhanced wireless router like that requires a higher level of <span style="text-decoration: underline">online security</span>. This is where securing your Tomato router with a <em>Virtual Private Network</em> or <span style="text-decoration: underline">VPN connection</span> comes in. By setting up this VPN connection directly into your Tomato router, this ensures that all the devices that are connected to the internet through all enjoy the full online security, <span style="text-decoration: underline">online privacy</span>, and <span style="text-decoration: underline">online freedom</span> of the VPN connection. Most VPNs use multiple <span style="text-decoration: underline">protocols</span> to secure the connections between the user and the <span style="text-decoration: underline">VPN server</span>. One of the most popular protocols used is the <span style="text-decoration: underline">Layer-2-Tunneling-Protocol</span> or <em>L2TP</em>. It is usually acquainted with the <span style="text-decoration: underline">Internet Protocol Security</span> or <em>IPSec</em> since, on its own, it won’t be secure enough against the <span style="text-decoration: underline">online risks</span> we face today. In this tutorial we will go through the step-by-step procedure on how to manually configure a VPN’s L2TP connection directly into your Tomato Router.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong><strong> </strong></strong></p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify"><b>Setting up L2TP on Tomato</b></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong><strong> </strong></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><b>1- </b><span style="font-weight: 400">In your browser open the router’s configuration page by typing in the address bar the “</span><b>Default Gateway IP</b> <b>address</b><span style="font-weight: 400">” (this is usually <em>192.168.1.1</em> but if this does not work, you can always refer back to the router’s manual) and press enter</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong><strong> </strong></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><b>2- </b><span style="font-weight: 400">From the panel on the left of the configuration page, select “</span><b>Basic</b><span style="font-weight: 400">” and then select “</span><b>Network</b><span style="font-weight: 400">”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong><strong> </strong></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><b>3- </b><span style="font-weight: 400">In the section labeled “</span><b>WAN Settings</b><span style="font-weight: 400">” click to open the drop-down menu labeled “</span><b>Type</b><span style="font-weight: 400">” and select “</span><b>L2TP</b><span style="font-weight: 400">”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong><strong> </strong></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><b>4- </b><span style="font-weight: 400">In the fields labeled “</span><b>Username</b><span style="font-weight: 400">” and “</span><b>Password</b><span style="font-weight: 400">” enter your <span style="text-decoration: underline">VPN Credentials</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong><strong> </strong></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><b>5- </b><span style="font-weight: 400">In the field labeled “</span><b>L2TP Server</b><span style="font-weight: 400">”, enter the <span style="text-decoration: underline">IP address</span> or the <span style="text-decoration: underline">hostname</span> of the VPN server you want to connect to (this can be found on your VPN provider’s website)</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong><strong> </strong></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><b>6- </b><span style="font-weight: 400">Click to check the checkbox labeled “</span><b>Use DHCP</b><span style="font-weight: 400">”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong><strong> </strong></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><b>7- </b><span style="font-weight: 400">Click to open the drop-down menu labeled “</span><b>Connect Mode</b><span style="font-weight: 400">” and select “</span><b>Keep Alive</b><span style="font-weight: 400">”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong><strong> </strong></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><b>8- </b><span style="font-weight: 400">In the field labeled “</span><b>Redial Interval</b><span style="font-weight: 400">”, set it to “</span><b>30</b><span style="font-weight: 400">”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong><strong> </strong></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><b>9- </b><span style="font-weight: 400">Click to open the drop-down menu labeled “</span><b>MTU</b><span style="font-weight: 400">” and select “</span><b>Default</b><span style="font-weight: 400">”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong><strong> </strong></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><b>10- </b><span style="font-weight: 400">At the bottom of the page, click on “</span><b>Save</b><span style="font-weight: 400">”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong><strong> </strong></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">Now you have successfully setup a VPN’s L2TP connection directly into your Tomato configured wireless router and hence every device that connects to the internet through this router will enjoy the full online security, online privacy, and online freedom of a VPN connection. Its important to mention again that L2TP on its own is not secure enough yet when it is joined with IPSec it becomes one of the most secure protocols so if you configure L2TP on its own you would connect at your own risk.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400"><strong>Blackberry</strong> has been a leading company in smartphones, tablets, and services for many years in the past reaching up to 85 million subscribers until 2013. Sadly with the introduction of <em>Android</em> and <em>iOS</em>, this caused a massive drop in the market position of Blackberry, reducing the number of subscribers to 23 million by 2016. Still many users prefer using the very professional, secure, and stable Blackberry phone over other devices. With <span style="text-decoration: underline">online risks</span> increasing each and every day. Blackberry phone fans need to further secure their devices if they want to remain connected safely to the <span style="text-decoration: underline">online world</span> and ensure complete <span style="text-decoration: underline">online freedom</span> and <span style="text-decoration: underline">privacy</span>. The only solution that combines all that is connecting to a <em>Virtual Private Network</em> or <span style="text-decoration: underline">VPN</span>. A VPN’s main purpose is to protect its users full <span style="text-decoration: underline">online security</span>, freedom, and privacy. VPNs support multiple <span style="text-decoration: underline">security protocols</span> and one of the most commonly used protocol is the <span style="text-decoration: underline">Layer-2-Tunneling-Protocol</span> or <em>L2TP</em>. In this tutorial we will be going through the detailed, step-by-step, process of manually setting up a VPN’s L2TP connection on your Blackberry phone.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong><strong> </strong></strong></p>

<p style="text-align: justify"><strong><strong> </strong></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><b>2- </b><span style="font-weight: 400">The VPN service that you are using must support the L2TP among its security protocols</span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400"><strong>Windows phones</strong> have become very popular ever since they acquired <em>Nokia</em>. Their software are extremely <span style="text-decoration: underline">user-friendly</span> due to that they run the mobile version of the <span style="text-decoration: underline">Windows Operating System</span>. Now keeping them secure while online, that is a whole other story. The best measure to take today to protect your <span style="text-decoration: underline">online security</span>, <span style="text-decoration: underline">online privacy</span>, and <span style="text-decoration: underline">online freedom</span> is using a <em>Virtual Private Network</em> or <span style="text-decoration: underline">VPN</span>. Sadly not all VPN services have applications that are supported on Windows phones. This is why in order to secure your internet connection with a VPN, you will need to setup the VPN connection <span style="text-decoration: underline">manually</span>. One of the most commonly used VPN security protocols is the <span style="text-decoration: underline">Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol</span> or <strong>L2TP</strong>. To further secure it, L2TP is usually acquainted with <em>Internet Protocol Security</em> or <strong>IPSec</strong>.  Almost all VPN services support <span style="text-decoration: underline">L2TP with IPSec</span> and so in this tutorial we will be showing you step by step how to manually configure a VPN’s <span style="text-decoration: underline">L2TP/IPSec</span> connection on your Windows Phone.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong><strong> </strong></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">1- Go to the <span style="text-decoration: underline">settings</span> of the phone</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong><strong> </strong></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">2- In the settings, select “<strong>VPN</strong>”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong><strong> </strong></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">3- At the bottom of your screen, tap on the “<strong>+</strong>” sign to add a new VPN connection</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong><strong> </strong></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">4- In the “<strong>Add Profile</strong>” section and in the field labeled “<strong>Server name or IP address</strong>”, type in the IP address or name of the server you want to connect to (This can be found on your VPN provider’s website in the client area or your account’s page and make sure that this server supports L2TP)</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong><strong> </strong></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">5- In the field labeled “<strong>Type</strong>”, select “<strong>L2TP with IPSec</strong>”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong><strong> </strong></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">6- In the section labeled “<strong>Connect using</strong>”, tap on “<strong>select an item</strong>”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong><strong> </strong></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">7- In that section select “<strong>Username+password+pre-shared key</strong>”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong><strong> </strong></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">8- Back in the add profile section enter your VPN credentials in the fields labeled “<strong>Username</strong>” and “<strong>password</strong>” (These are the credentials used to sign in to your VPN account) </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong><strong> </strong></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">9- In the field labeled “<strong>pre-shared key</strong>”, enter the pre-shared key related to the server you want to connect to (this can be found in the client or user account area on the VPN provider’s website next to the selected server)</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong><strong> </strong></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">10- In the “<strong>Profile name</strong>” field, enter the preferred name you would like to give to the connection (some VPN providers prefer a certain name for the connection which can also be found on their website)</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong><strong> </strong></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">11- Tap on “<strong>Save</strong>” to finish</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong><strong> </strong></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">12- Now your connection is setup and and you can establish a VPN’s L2TP connection from the “<strong>VPN</strong>” section in the <span style="text-decoration: underline">settings</span> of the phone</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong><strong> </strong></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">L2TP with IPSec is considered the second most secure <span style="text-decoration: underline">security protocol</span> after<em> OpenVPN</em> and so it is very important to know how to manually configure it on all devices that connect to the internet to keep this connection secure, private, and free</span></p>

<h3><strong>What is iOS?</strong></h3>
<p>Formerly known as &#8220;<em>iPhone OS</em>&#8220;, <strong>iOS</strong> is the <span style="text-decoration: underline">operating system</span> developed by <strong>Apple</strong> to run Apple mobile devices, such as: <em>iPhones, iPads, Apple TV</em> and <em>iPad Touch</em>. It is based on <span style="text-decoration: underline">Darwin</span> to give its users the look, feel and settings needed to control their devices. iOS is well-known for its robust performance and stability. It has always maintained a top position among its competitors. The user interface relies on <span style="text-decoration: underline">multi-touch</span> as means of interaction with the system, such as: swiping, tapping, or even pinching. iOS connects applications with each other to share the same information. Unlike <strong>Android</strong>, which is an <span style="text-decoration: underline">open source platform</span>, iOS is a closed platform and is restricted to Apple mobile products.</p>
<h3><strong>What is L2TP Protocol?</strong></h3>
<p><em>Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol</em>, or <strong>L2TP</strong> for short, is a type of <span style="text-decoration: underline">VPN tunneling protocols</span> that was jointly developed as a combination between <strong>Cisco</strong>’s <span style="text-decoration: underline">Layering 2 Forwarding</span> and <strong>Microsoft</strong>’s <span style="text-decoration: underline">Point-to-point Tunneling Protocol</span> (PPTP). In order to operate as a routing tunnel for data traffic, it is paired with IPsec to form <strong>L2TP/IPsec</strong>. In this way, it can encrypt data traffic through a <span style="text-decoration: underline">secure VPN tunnel</span>.</p>
<p>L2TP/IPsec is more advanced than PPTP in terms of level of security and is faster than <strong>OpenVPN</strong> as well. That is why it works best on mobile devices. On other hand, L2TP is challenging when it comes to <em>Linux</em>. Linux users usually go through a complex procedure to set up L2TP on their devices. In addition, L2TP uses <span style="text-decoration: underline">UDP port 500</span> which can be detected by ISP, hence, is vulnerable to blocking by destination servers.</p>
<h3><strong>How to Setup L2TP on iOS</strong></h3>
<p>iOS provides options to VPN configuration by using L2TP, IKev2 and PPTP. In this section, we will show you step-by-step instructions to be able to <span style="text-decoration: underline">setup L2TP on iOS devices</span> without any hassle. You can follow these instructions with any VPN service. For demonstration purposes, we will use <a href="https://www.bvpn.com/en/#download"><strong>bVPN</strong> </a>as an example to configure L2TP on iOS.</p>
<p>1- Go to your Home screen and tap on &#8220;<strong>settings</strong>&#8220;.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">All these matches are streamed not only on beIN Sports channels but also on beIN Sports Connect website and apps for iOS and Android operated devices. In case you already have a paid subscription at beIN Sports Channels, you can sign up at beIN Sports Connect, there online streaming service, and catch up with all the matches you’ve missed or watch them live on the go.</p>
<p> BUT here is the worst part! beIN Sports network is only available for users in MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region. Hence beIN Sports paid subscribers, whenever they travel outside the Middle East, they find themselves banned from accessing <em>beIN Sports Connect</em> website and apps.<a href="https://www.vpnanswers.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Unblock-beIN-sports.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-4792 size-full alignleft" src="https://www.vpnanswers.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Unblock-beIN-sports.png" alt="Unblock beIN sports" width="842" height="528" srcset="https://www.vpnanswers.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Unblock-beIN-sports.png 842w, https://www.vpnanswers.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Unblock-beIN-sports-300x188.png 300w, https://www.vpnanswers.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Unblock-beIN-sports-150x94.png 150w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 842px) 100vw, 842px" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Luckily, this problem can be solved by simply obtaining a MENA IP address; such as a Saudi, Jordanian or an Emirati IP address.</p>
<p><em>Introducing b.VPN the number one VPN service in the Middle East…</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">b.VPN is the first and only (till now) VPN service that primarily targets users in the Middle East as the main aim of the service is to enable Internet users in the Arab world of bypassing strict Internet surveillance and accessing banned social networks or <em>VoIP applications</em>. And that is why you’ll notice that both b.VPN’s website and apps are localized in Arabic. Not only this, but their customer support team speaks Arabic too.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Recently, b.VPN has added <em>KSA server and UAE server</em> to its network of <em>VPN servers</em>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://www.vpnanswers.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Arabic-servers.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-4790 size-full" src="https://www.vpnanswers.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Arabic-servers.png" alt="Arabic servers" width="779" height="69" srcset="https://www.vpnanswers.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Arabic-servers.png 779w, https://www.vpnanswers.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Arabic-servers-300x26.png 300w, https://www.vpnanswers.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Arabic-servers-150x13.png 150w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 779px) 100vw, 779px" /></a></p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">So, how can you use b.VPN to unblock beIN Sports anywhere?</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">b.VPN relies on 2 of the best VPN protocols; <em>OpenVPN/ SSH</em> and <em>L2TP/IPsec</em> (both feature 256-bit encryption). b.VPN also supports all popular operating systems (Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, Linux, Chromium). Connection to b.VPN servers can be achieved in 3 different methods:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">1. L2TP/IPsec manual configuration</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">2. Using OpenVPN client</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">3. Installing b.VPN apps on different devices</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>So, let’s say you would like to set up VPN connection on your iPad using manual configuration method, here’s what you should do:</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">From Home screen, tap &#8220;Settings&#8221; &gt; &#8220;General&#8221; &gt; &#8220;VPN&#8221; &gt; &#8220;Add VPN Configuration&#8230;&#8221; &gt; &#8220;L2TP&#8221; tab.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Enter the following information</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Description:  you can choose any name you want but it’s recommended to use the servers address in this field. In the example here, we will be using UAE server. So, type the following (uae.as.bvpn.com)</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Server: same as the previous field (uae.as.bvpn.com)</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> Account: your b.VPN account username</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> Password: your b.VPN password</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> Secret:  prj22ub5tk3kg3c</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Turn “Send All Traffic” button ON.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Save the configuration and go back.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">To connect, slide VPN button to the right.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Wait till it connects.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> It shouldn’t take more than a few seconds till you get the notification that you’re connected.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 style="text-align: center;">For an updated 2017 review, please click <a href="https://anonymster.com/b-vpn-review-speed-test/" target="_blank">HERE</a>!</h2>
<address style="text-align: center;">b.VPN is a VPN administration offered by iSpire Solutions, an organization had practical experience in creating IT security frameworks. The organization has a group of exceedingly prepared and expert IT masters working each day to give entrance and security review administrations to people, military establishments, banks, and both private and open foundations</address>
<p><a href="https://www.vpnmentor.com/vpn/bvpn/"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://www.vpnmentor.com/badge/VPNMentor.png" alt="" width="119" height="115" /><br />
</a><strong>Site Layout:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The site general configuration is spotless and portable amicable. The data is all around organized and exact, being composed in an advanced design with suggestion to take action catches put in the first screen. On the landing page they are displaying the benefits of their administration, along-side most recent news, a run-down of stages bolstered and instalment strategies. The site doesn&#8217;t depend on trendy expressions and showcasing strategies that are typically irritating to the informed VPN client.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A trial record is accessible for <em>15 minutes</em> which as I would see it is <em>less time</em> in the event that you need to test the administration for nothing before paying.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Encryption</strong>:<br />
The administration underpins various conventions, for example, L2TP/IPsec, and OpenVPN. OpenVPN assumes a noteworthy part in permitting associations on various ports to sidestep ISPs throttling data transfer capacity and firewalls on standard ports. It also supports <em>UDP (TUN &amp;TAP) and TCP (TUN)</em> options which gives you layers of security or speed where in my case I like security.<br />
There is also a very secure layer which is the SSH option this offers you speed and security in same time.<br />
<strong>Speed</strong>:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">At first my internet went slow just as any VPN client before but then I learned from their client support that the BVPN allows me to use the speed provided by my ISP not more than that. It kills all programs that interfere in speed abilities and allows me to make full use of my speed.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This implies that you can surf the web quicker for extended periods, stream your most loved films, listen to music or radio stations of his decision, play distinctive internet recreations, visit with companions and relatives through social destinations, for example, Twitter, and download boundless substance as much as you might want to. In this manner Speeds of 100Mbit/sec can be come to if your web association permits so.<a href="&quot;"> </a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Servers available </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">BVPN has serves located in <em>5 countries</em>: the United Kingdom, Ukraine, the Netherlands, France and the United States (California – New Jersey – Florida – New York). Thus, administration normally gives you access to blocked administrations, for example, Netflix, BBC and Pandora through its US and UK servers.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Talking first at the offers accessible, BVPN offers a 15 minutes free VPN trial which permits you to experiment with the associations and in the event that it is good with your gadget or not. This is the main negative point I have run over till now.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">One Month – 30 days of organization will cost you $9.99 consistently</p>

<h2><span style="color: #333333"><strong>A Digest on L2TP Protocol</strong></span></h2>
<blockquote><p><em>The Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) is a standard protocol for tunneling L2 traffic over an IP network. Its ability to carry almost any L2 data format over IP or other L3 networks makes it particularly useful. But L2TP remains little-known outside of certain niches, perhaps because early versions of the specification were limited to carrying PPP &#8212; a limitation that is now removed.</em></p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP)</strong> is an advanced networking protocol that is used to support <em>VPN services</em>. A common misconception is that L2TP is an <span style="text-decoration: underline">encryption protocol</span>. The truth is, L2TP is a <span style="text-decoration: underline">tunneling protocol</span> and doesn&#8217;t provide any form of encryption by itself. It has to be paired with an encryption protocol which it passes through the tunnel in order to successfully <span style="text-decoration: underline">provide VPN users with privacy</span>. L2TP protocol is considered to be one of the most secure protocols that are compatible with all <span style="text-decoration: underline">operating systems and platforms</span>. Not only is L2TP protocol used by VPNs, but it is also used by <strong>internet service providers (ISP)</strong> to deliver their services in certain cases, for example when the <strong>ADSL</strong> is being resold.</p>
<p>L2TP protocol is usually paired with <strong>IPSec</strong> (an encryption protocol) to be referred to as <span style="text-decoration: underline"><strong>L2TP/IPSec</strong></span> to provide authentication and integrity to a VPN network through which data is completely encrypted when it&#8217;s trafficked through the VPN tunnel. Most VPN providers use 256 bit keys for encryption to deliver a safe and secure networking environment to their users.</p>
<h2><strong><span style="color: #333333">Advantages and Disadvantages of L2TP Protocol</span></strong></h2>
<p>So what are the pros and cons of L2TP protocol and where does it stand when it comes to providing <span style="text-decoration: underline">security and anonymity over the internet</span>? In this section, we will reveal the main advantages and disadvantages of L2TP protocols and how effective it is in providing security and anonymity to users online.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #800000">L2TP Protocol PROS</span></h3>
<p>• <strong>Compatibility</strong>: L2TP protocol is widely supported by all operating systems, like: <em>Windows</em>, <em>Linux</em> and <em>MAC OS</em>.</p>
<p>• <strong>Configuration</strong>: L2TP protocol is easy to setup than other protocols because most platform come with an integrated L2TP support, facilitating its<span style="text-decoration: underline"> configuration process</span>.</p>
<p>• <strong>Stability: </strong>L2TP protocol is known for being reliable and stable. It might be a little dodgy though when it is used with devices that are connected to <strong>NAT routers</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>• Security: </strong>L2TP protocol is extremely secure because it doesn&#8217;t have any major vulnerabilities. L2TP is excellent in terms of security when it is conjuncted with other sturdy encryption protocols and <span style="text-decoration: underline">security algorithms</span> such as <strong>AES</strong> to provide maximum security.</p>

<h3><span style="color: #800000">L2TP Protocol CONS</span></h3>
<p><strong>• Speed: </strong>L2TP protocol is generally slower than other protocols because it wraps data twice which results in a slowdown in the <span style="text-decoration: underline">data transfer process</span>. However, this can be easily overcome when L2TP is paired with <span style="text-decoration: underline"><strong>OpenVPN protocol</strong></span>, making the speed different hardly detectable.</p>
<p><strong>• Ports: </strong>L2TP protocol uses fixed ports. &#8220;For instance, the L2TP/IPSec combination uses <strong>UDP 500</strong> for key exchange, <strong>UDP 1701</strong> for configuration and <strong>UDP 4500</strong> for traversal. Since it uses fixed ports and protocols, it is easier to <span style="text-decoration: underline">block L2TP than OpenVPN</span>.&#8221; That is why, L2TP is not ideal to be used in countries, like: <strong>China</strong> and <strong>Iran</strong> due to their highly sophisticated filtering systems which rely on <strong>DPI (Deep Packet Inspection)</strong> technique which can easily block the L2TP protocol.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>L2TP is an excellent VPN protocol that delivers the goods. While it falls just short of OpenVPN, it is quick to setup, provides excellent security and supports a wide variety of devices which makes it an great choice for use in most environments.</p>
