Hey Gordon,
I do not have any security issue in this network.
I need to connect to a remote network on a secure network.
The options are pptp or l2tp(no ipsec encryption) so I do want to use
l2tp like in (lac\lns) and I am looking for a client for CentOS.
Note that it works in ubuntu so it is possible to achieve the same with
CentOS but I do not know what is behind the gui that initiates the
connection for l2tp.
With pptp I have no issue and I have a connection which works a lot of time.
Thanks,
Eliezer

give me some advice.
l2tp, by itself, offers no encryption. Notably, that means that your
password is going to cross the network in clear text. Bare l2tp is the
VPN equivalent of telnet. I really strongly recommend that you reconsider.
ipsec, by itself, is a much better and easier way to achieve your goal.
It will require less setup, and offer better security. There's no down
side; ipsec is clearly a better choice for connecting two systems over
an unsecured network.
l2tp is typically used in conjunction with ipsec, for mobile clients.
The reason is that l2tp integrates with external authentication (RADIUS,
LDAP, Active Directory, etc) better than ipsec alone does. That's great
when you have a group of users that you want to have individual
authentication keys, but it's not a good fit for connecting one server
to another.
