You can change the listen address by npppd.conf:

  tunnel L2TP protocol l2tp {
    listen on xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
  }

l2tp-ipsec-require isn't supported yet, but we can refuse L2TP without
IPsec packerts by pf.

When RADIUS is used for authentication, the RADIUS authentication
server may provide something against the dictonary attacks.

Also if npppd supports EAP-RADIUS in the future, some authentication
methods including EAP-TLS (certificate authentication) will become
available.

Sorry, I'm not sure.
