Best VPN config for Android 12.x+
We used to use L2TP/IPSEC for a few IT and Engineering Admin staff from their phones to do remote access to control systems. They need to cross a few internal VLANS on generally could look at SMB shares etc.
With the depreciation by Google of the above, what is considered the access type to use with this type of requirement. IKEV2?

IKEv2 can be used, via StrongSwan, but SSLVPN can also be used via an openVPN client, (which there are many of for Android.)
See:

Most modern android phones only support the older IKEv1 or L2TP/IPSEC standards via their built-in clients.
SSLVPN will be the most flexible (allowing custom routes pulled in via the OVPN file) where IKEv2 will be faster, but will generally be limited to a full tunnel.
