Description-en: strongSwan plugin for a IPsec backend that entirely in userland
The strongSwan VPN suite uses the native IPsec stack in the standard
Linux kernel. It supports both the IKEv1 and IKEv2 protocols.
.
This package provides the strongSwan plugin which provides an IPsec backend
that works entirely in userland, using TUN devices and strongSwan's own IPsec
implementation libipsec. This is useful for when there is no kernel support for
IPsec.
.
This plugin is now included in libcharon-extra-plugins. This package can
be safely removed once it's installed.
