[Devil-Linux-discuss] StrongSWAN vs OpenSwan

[Jasper S. <ja...@si...>]

Hi all,

I noted that OpenSwan was recently replaced by StrongSwan. Out of
curiosity; Why was this ? I saw an other thread on the mailinglist which
stated that strongswan was built on top of openswan with extra features.
As far as I know, this is not the case and were both forked from the
freeswan project (I Could be missing something tough..).

I'm by no means a *Swan expert, but this comparison looks to be leaning
to Openswan:

Yes its on the openswan page :-) But StrongSwan
http://www.strongswan.org/ linkes to the feature comparison. I doubt
they would link to it if they would find it unfair.

Kinds regards,

Jasper
