WireGuard is in the kernel and version 1.0.0 has been released. Devuan doesn't provide a package yet, but it is pretty easy to build and install from source. I've been running it for months, replacing OpenVPN Tunnels. WireGuard is much faster, and I found it easier to configure and debug.
As I understand it, FreeSwan is defunct. but OpenSwan is around. Can't comment on it, as I haven't used IPSEC VPNs > > Simon -Richard _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
