[Voyage-linux] Question regarding OpenSWAN, FreeSWAN, or racoon

[John D. Bickle]

Hi Everyone.

I've been using pebble for a while, and want to make the move to voyage
(good work, everyone!)

However, i have a question about what you think would be the best VPN
strategy.

Using pebble, what i did was download the debian packages for freeswan and
i ported that to pebble by recompiling a custom kernel with the necessary
modules. I'd prefer not to do that again, if i can avoid it.

Also FreeSWAN, to the best of my knowledge, is no longer supported. What
do you think would be the best strategy for having good VPN software for
voyage? should i use OpenSWAN, or perhaps a combination of a custom kernel
and use racoon for key exchange? Does anyone have any plans for putting a
standard IPSEC package in voyage?

any advice or help you can give me with this would be very much appreciated.

cheers,
john.
