Protocol

VPNs that support L2TP

Providers that still offer L2TP, generally for the same reason as PPTP: an old client somebody has not retired.

L2TP/IPsec is a tunnelling protocol from 1999 that carries no encryption of its own and relies on IPsec for it. It is built into most operating systems, which is why a few providers still list it — usually for an old router or client nobody has retired.

On security it is the weakest protocol in the list that is still encrypted. The IPsec layer is sound, but the shared keys providers publish for it are often the same for every customer, it is trivially blocked, and documents leaked in 2013 suggest its sessions have been targeted at scale. Anything above it on the list is a better choice.

L2TP

Ranked by security

Four of the twelve terms — obfuscated, proprietary, vendor_open, wireguard_derived — are categories rather than protocol names: each says a protocol was disguised, closed or built on another, not which one it is. A record that publishes no protocol list at all appears on none of these pages (sixteen on file).
