Summary
StrongSwan is direct descendant of the discontinued FreeS/WAN project. As an IPsec based VPN solution which is focused on security and ease of use, it fully implements the IKEv1/IKEv2 protocols, MOBIKE, NAT-Traversal via UDP encapsulation (incl. port floating) and Dead Peer Detection. It also fully supports the Linux 2.6 IPsec stack, IPv6, certificates/keys on Smartcards and virtual IP address pools.
