PPTP protocol is used widely. It is old and slow. L2TP protocol is more stable and fast in use. The speed of my internet (and not only for me!) significally increased after I changed pptp on l2tp. With pptp my speed was 2Mbit/s (download) and 1,5 Mbit/s (upload). With l2tp I got 10 Mbit/s on download and 30 Mbit/s on upload. It is a result of tests on speedtest.net and 2 other sites. The PPTP connection I made with yast2-network module (DSL). It is fast, simple and convinient way (as everythins in Yast). But this module does not have an opportunity to make VPN connection via L2TP protocol. I suggest to add L2TP protocol in yast2-network module to make connections via PPP over Ethernet, PPP over ATM, CAPI for ADSL, Point To Point Connection Protocol and L2TP CONNECTION PROTOCOL ! I used xl2tp package but I couldn't tune right all nesessary scripts in /etc/ppp directory. In forums I looked at different ways to run proper l2tp connection. The best one on my opinion is using the script from here: http://homenet.corbina.net/index.php?showtopic=267122 (http://homenet.corbina.net/index.php?showtopic=267122) This script helped me to use xl2tpd and establish l2tp connection. Searching for this method takes several days. In spite of working l2tp- connercion I am not sure in security as it was with PPTP connection created with DSL module in yast2-network. Another method for l2tp-connections developed for Mandriva: http://code.google.com/p/vpnpptp/ (http://code.google.com/p/vpnpptp/) (http://code.google.com/p/vpnpptp/) PLEASE add L2TP protocol to YaST! I sure it'll improve my favourite openSUSE beside other popular distros. For simple users like me, not for red-eyes linux-penguins, YaST is more convenient method to create l2tp-connections beside a manually correction of shell-scripts in core of operating system. Unfortunately i n Windows L2TP connections are available in built- in Network-connections-module in Control Panel. But OpenSUSE has not suth a necessary tool. Vote for L2TP to openSUSE!!! -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310571
