I want to run a Linux IPsec server and was wondering why there are so many l2tp howto's and so less Ipsec Server.

I read that you can run every protocol over l2tp. But I need only IP. Some guy said he uses l2tp only for authentification. I was wondering why because IPsec supports PSK and certificates.
Would you recomment me to use L2TP/IPsec?

Did someone try to run IPsec on Debian wheezy?
