Libreswan is a fork of the Openswan IPsec VPN implementation.
Libreswan is created by almost all of the Openswan developers after a lawsuit about the ownership of the Openswan name was filed against Paul Wouters, the release manager of Openswan, in December 2012.[3][4][5] The lawsuit was later settled out of court. The Libreswan project has an active community of developers and contributors with regular releases. They can be found on the #swan channel on the Freenode IRC service.
Libreswan supports most of the common type of IPsec configurations people use including configuration like host to host VPN, subnet to subnet VPN[6]. While written for Libreswan, the instructions will work for Openswan as well unless specifically noted.
