Dear Colleagues,

Is there any reason to prefer IPSec over OpenVPN for building VPNs
between FreeBSD hosts and routers (and others compatible with OpenVPN
like pfSense, OpenWRT etc)?

I can see only advantages of OpenVPN (a single UDP port, a single
userland daemon, no kernel rebuild required, a standard PKI, an easy
way to push settings and routes to remote clients, nice monitoring
feature etc). But maybe there is some huge advantage of IPSec I've
skipped?
