Whatever happened to IPSec?

One occasional client of mine has outsourced IT support who keep trying to
push me onto L2TP to connect to their office LAN. I have tried repeatedly,
but cannot get it to work. And I gather it’s not worth using anyway.

All I needed was SSH access into the specific Linux boxes that I’m
responsible for. Finally they relented and let me have that.

Another client uses OpenVPN, which seems the closest to a de-facto
standard in the cross-platform world. I was able to get that going without
too much trouble at all. We were even able to get a Mac user to set it up
on his machine.

Even weirder, M$ is recruiting Insider beta testers for Windows 10.

Note that they’re not actually extending the lifespan of Dimdows 10,
they’re just trying to cram some more bu^H^Hfeatures into it before it
dies.
