Just seen this from the user perspective and in this case has L2TP more options to satisfy us.

The real pain is that android decides to require Ike2 for VPN.

When i look back what a fine solution this was for android to work with VPNs.

Now we have to life with the technical possibilities that ipsec ike2 give us.

And once again, this is a step backwards for the android family.

I feel good that tp-link support ike2 to get VPN for Android user, it's limited in

compare to former solutions but hey we happy that is working....

Thanks for the deep dive 😉

 

 

 

Not sure what Android plans to do. If you need a full tunnel, built-in IPsec on Android cannot achieve what you want. If you'd like to dig more out of this, you might try it out on the Android forum.

At least, from us, you'd get an answer that is not supported because of the protocol mechanism. We do and will not offer a solution to that unless there is a change in the protocol.

Android users have other options like WG and OVPN which can perfectly meet the secure and full tunnel connection. That's how it works out for the phones now.

It is how it works now. Applies to most phones including iOS. As they remove L2TP, there is not way for the networking vendors to fix it. Pick a different lane(VPN type).
