Closed, ResolvedPublicBUG

Description

In 1.2.x we utilized xl2tpd version 1.3.6+dfsg-2-vyos0 and it does not support kernel space

Oct  2 18:43:59 vyos xl2tpd[2339]: This binary does not support kernel L2TP.

When I build and install the package from https://github.com/xelerance/xl2tpd
It seems that it begins to use kernel modules
