Description

Several Configuration Recipes are often find by customers that are no longer recommended. While these guides had usefulness at one point, none of these should ever be implemented in this day and age (L2TP, for example, is highly insecure).

Since customers often stumble on these via Google searches and completely ignore the warning banner about not using them, I would say we should remove them entirely.

Examples include, in order of importance:
https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/recipes/l2tp-ipsec.html - This one is VERY frequently what people "try" to use, regardless of the banner
https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/recipes/l2tp-ipsec-android.html - related to above, so should go since it's tied together
https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/recipes/ipsec-mobile-ikev1-psk.html - Not aware of any clients that still support this. iOS has completely removed this functionality.
