It's still a tool for letting people do something fundamentally wrong and insecure with a false sense that it's secure.

Um, it's encrypted, like IPsec? Maybe you mean 802.1X?

Using IPsec for access control is another iteration of the same insecure design. You're granting access to any process that can make a connection from the magically-trusted host.

You're like my hero, so I will not pick a fight with you, but we're clearly talking about different things. I apologize for commenting in the first place and will stay out of your way. Take care

OK, maybe so. FWIW I have no objection to using IPsec or similar tools as a privacy layer, but I do think it's really dangerous to think they suddenly make it safe to treat location-on-network as an access control method.
