> Right now IPSec is impossible to use, but that's because nobody has yet started to "humanize" it.

True and unfortunate. There should be no need for SSL because IPSec should cover that use case but Opportunistic Encryption just didn't work well enough in the real world and ESP doesn't work well with NAT. IPSec represents the bad kind of multi-vendor consensus design that tries to be everything and ends up being nothing.
