Some of them are called \"VPN\" at different points of the GUI, but others are not:\r\n\r\n* The screen _System: System logs: VPN_ shows L2TP, PPTP, and PPPoE, but not IPsec and OpenVPN\r\n* In the main section _VPN_ there are only IPsec, OpenVPN, and L2TP configurable\r\n* PPTP and PPPoE are configured in the section _Services_\r\n\r\n__Suggestions:__\r\n* Maybe PPTP should move from the _Services_ to the _VPN_ section?\r\n* I think PPP and PPPoE are not really considered VPN technologies (are they?). Maybe they should be called something like \"dial-in services\"?\r\n* The screen _System: System logs: VPN_ should either contain also IPsec and OpenVPN logs, or should be renamed to something different than _VPN_.

The VPN Diagnostics page still needs work as described in #461. L2TP I was also thinking of moving out of VPN, so there are only IPsec and OpenVPN as the true VPN solutions...\r\n\r\nThe pages have always been this way. By reordering the menu we've made these problems more visible and they will be cleaned up for 16.1 for sure.\r\n\r\nPS: Some page names still have a \"vpn_\" prefix, but we'd like to avoid moving files as much as possible, it is risky as the pages may be called from various other pages, are registered in the ACL, etc."}}
