OpenL2TP is a free, open source L2TP client/server designed by Katalix Systems for Linux systems. It offers complete control over the Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol network configuration, making it a reliable and effective solution for secure VPN connections.
If you're in need of a Linux-based client or server for L2TP, OpenL2TP may be just what you're looking for. Developed by Katalix Systems, this open source solution was specifically designed to cater to enterprise L2TP VPN needs, as well as commercial applications in embedded networking products. Even with hundreds of active sessions running simultaneously and different configurations for each, OpenL2TP is up to the task.
Behind the scenes, a userspace daemon handles the L2TP control protocol while a kernel component takes care of the datapath. The distribution includes kernel patches for 2.4 and 2.6, a pppd plugin, and a command line application for management and documentation. And if pppd isn't your preferred PPP implementation, an OpenL2TP plugin lets you use others instead.
With its robust capabilities and tailored design, OpenL2TP is definitely worth considering for anyone looking for a Linux-based L2TP solution.
