L2TP is a VPN protocol that allows users to connect to a network remotely by establishing a secure tunnel between the client and server. It operates at the data link layer of the OSI model, which is why it's called Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol. L2TP is widely used because it's a secure and reliable protocol that supports multiple authentication methods, including pre-shared keys, certificates, and username/password combinations.
