<p>Thanks, Torsten!<br>
</p>
<p>A few years ago, I tried a similar anyconnect installer script
from ETH and it screwed up other vpn connections I had working, so
I wanted to avoid this, as I now have a working ETH vpn
connection, which I need to keep. As an alternative to the
installer script, the ETH web site gives clear instructions how to
connect to vpn manually through the network manager from linux,
which worked very well. EPFL only has the installer script and the
l2tp way, so I would like to use l2tp instead of the installer
script if possible. Unfortunately, the network manager does not
seem to have this capability.</p>
<p>Cheers</p>
<p>Stan<br>

Did you read the information provided by EPFL?</div>

<pre class="" wrap="">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.

Daniel
