<div>When I was working at EPFL, I personally used vpnc as described in <<a href="http://flashinformatique.epfl.ch/IMG/pdf/5-4-page3.pdf" class="">http://flashinformatique.epfl.ch/IMG/pdf/5-4-page3.pdf</a>></div>

<div>However, that might not work anymore (last used in 2011).</div>

<pre wrap="" class="">where are you using this? i always perceived strongswan to be rather
niche, most people use either openvpn or one of the cisco vpns (vpnc,
openconnect). all of these three variants are nicely supported with any
linux system since years.
Regards,
Daniel
