Hi List,

I have an Android phone that offers

- PPTP-VPN
- L2TP-VPN
- L2TP/IPSec PSK-VPN
- L2TP/IPSec CRT-VPN

(That's Android 2.2.1, but possibly with certain backports or vendor-specific extensions by Motorola)

I would like to connect it to my pfSense 2.0.1-RELEASE box so I have a secure connection with my LAN when I'm on the road.

I've found http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Android_VPN_Connectivity but I'm more confused than enlightened after reading that. So far, I only have experience with OpenVPN, which isn't available on my phone (and since it has a locked bootloader, I can't root it).

What is going to be the easy and painless way of establishing a VPN connection between my phone and the pfSense box?

I faintly remember some protocols are less secure than others, but I don't remember which ones, and saw the note on the above-mentioned wiki page that L2TP does not encrypt traffic. I'm taking that as a hint that I shouldn't be using L2TP on its own, but should I go the PPTP route or is one of the L2TP/IPSec combinations going to work with the components involved?

Thanks in advance for all your suggestions.

-Stefan
