I'm not sure why you're splitting hairs here:
L2TP has nothing to do with OpenVPN. its IPSec.
I never said L2TP was part of OpenVPN. I said the website recommends a sequence of methods to attempt to connect. OpenVPN was above L2TP, PPTP was last.
So, not reliably. Thats the point.
Yet more reliable than any other method I tried which varied from flaky to not working at all. That is MY point. OpenVPN has always connected but is occasionally reset. L2TP and PPTP often doesn't connect at all.
I doubt my provider is doing anything fancy. They just recommend that OpenVPN is the *most* reliable connection. Their settings appear fairly standard with simple changes to the ports and selecting the encryption algorithm and they recommend to use the the standard software on windows and a Arne Schwabe's OpenVPN for Android, but I have no reason to believe any OpenVPN client would refuse to work.
