Configuring L2TP/IPsec VPN on Debian 9 (stretch)
Waste few hours to configure L2TP VPN on Debian. To reduce Googling time when I need to do it again.
Found some almost correct ways on following links:

Few things need modify:

Few things need modify:
- use ipsec up/down to control IPsec tunnel
- use correct pipeline when start L2TP connection:
$ sudo ipsec up vpn-namehttps://askubuntu.com/questions/20578/redirect-the-output-using-sudo
https://github.com/hwdsl2/setup-ipsec-vpn/issues/48
$ echo "c vpn-name " | sudo tee /var/run/xl2tpd/l2tp-controlAnd use ike-scan to find VPN server's supported protocols. Debug using https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/IPsec_Troubleshooting if IPSec tunnel can't be establish.
