Title
L2TP over IPSec Encryption Failure on ArcherAXE75
Summary
When configured as L2TP/IPSec VPN server, Archer AXE75 V1 may accept connections using L2TP without IPSec protection, even when IPSec is enabled. This allows VPN sessions without encryption, exposing data in transit and compromising confidentiality.
