Hi there, I'm looking to impliment some security over VPN connections based on the Internet. I noticed some providers such as BT offer L2TP ADSL connections and sell them as private. As far as I was aware, L2TP does offer authentication via RADIUS etc but does not offer the same security as IPSec? Should I be concerned that BT are not using IPSec with their L2TP VPN?
