CHAPTER 31
L2TP VPN
31.1 Overview
L2TP VPN lets remote users use the L2TP and IPSec client software included with
their computers’ operating systems to securely connect to the network behind the
ZyWALL. The remote users do not need their own IPSec gateways or VPN client
software.

built inside it. See Chapter 25 on page 467 for information on IPSec VPN.
