The topology above depicts the L2TP/IPsec scheme. - The router with the Public IP address ('''''RUTX11''''') acts as the '''L2TP/IPsec server''' and the '''Android device''' acts as '''client'''. L2TP connects the networks of '''RUTX11''' and '''Android client''', IPsec provides the encryption for the L2TP tunnel. Only LAN traffic is going to go through that tunnel, any other WAN traffic won't go through it. This way the VPN tunnel will not be under a huge load and will provide greater speeds.

L2TP connects the networks of '''RUTX''' and '''Android client''', IPsec provides the encryption for the L2TP tunnel. Created VPN tunnel will allow Android device to reach home network behind the RUTX router, but the rest of Android device network traffic will not be redirected through VPN. This way the VPN tunnel will not be under a huge load and will provide greater speeds.

When the scheme is realized, you will be able to reach your home internal network with all internal systems, cameras, or other IOT devices, from anywhere in the world.

When the scheme is realized, you will be able to log on to your home network from anywhere - work, hotel, car. You will have access to all of your home resources, and your data will still be secure, even if you will be using public WiFi.
