Description-en: strongSwan plugin to interact with NetworkManager
The strongSwan VPN suite uses the native IPsec stack in the standard
Linux kernel. It supports both the IKEv1 and IKEv2 protocols.
.
This plugin provides an interface which allows NetworkManager to configure
and control the IKEv2 daemon directly through D-Bus. It is designed to work
in conjunction with the network-manager-strongswan package, providing
a simple graphical frontend to configure IPsec based VPNs.
