About

strongSwan is an open-source implementation of the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) protocols for securing IP traffic with policy- and route-based IPsec virtual private networks. It supports IKEv2 and IKEv1, IPv4 and IPv6 tunnels, mobility, certificate and pre-shared-key authentication, EAP methods, and a modular plugin system for cryptography, credentials, and networking. Network administrators and developers use it to build VPN gateways and connect network endpoints, from remote-access setups to complex IPsec deployments. The core software runs on Linux and has been ported to FreeBSD, macOS, Windows, Android, and iOS. An Android VPN client and a NetworkManager plugin for Linux desktops are also available. The source code is licensed under GPLv2, with commercial licensing available for most components and separate commercial support options. Documentation covers installation, configuration, features, and troubleshooting.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Setup was quick - done in just a few hours. I like having an app that can be installed on the PC. Great admin console - can see who is online and manage their sessions.

Cons

  • Integration with AD is good, but doesn't import groups easily. Hopefully this will change soon as we have to setup users manually. Can be a bit touchy with some of the ISPs. We have some people who just cannot use Sophos. MFA not great - couldn't get it working smoothly and caused a lot of headaches.
