Note

L2TP support is Brand New. I fully expect it to have surprises along the way. Please ask any questions in the SmallWall forums, and feel free to report any sucesses there as well.

This chapter is intended to outline L2TP VPN type setups. Many modern operating systems can support L2TP, but additional components may need to be downloaded and / or installed.
