I am sure Ipsec has allot of advantages. I have not explored it yet. So I can't really say. Here's one practical reason to stay with SSH. I thought I read in the list somewhere, that some ISPs are blocking Ipsec. The ISP forces a person to buy a business account with the ISP in order to use the Ipsec protocol--the scurvy dogs. SSH or CIPE could provide some drastic savings on a normal residential account compared to a business account using Ipsec in this case. SSH can be moved from it's default port of 22, if an ISP blocks that port. I believe Ipsec is a protocol that could be filtered forcing a person into a business account. SSH has allot of uses on an internal net. What I can't answer yet is how easy is Ipsec to configure to replace SSH for internal LAN functions? Does Ipsec limit client choices or is that a non issue? I am guessing that if Ipsec is just a protocol, then you worry about it on the network interface configuration and the tunnel is available to all clients? Ahhhhhh and what this subject is talking about is choice. LEAF distros give you lots of choices.
