charon-cmd howto?
by phi from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4Z380)
Dear community
I want to connect to our server in the school, but our stuff only supports M$-Windows and Mac. For OS X for example, they provide the following information:
*** VPN fi1/4r OS X
Open System Config -> Network -> ADD VPN
type: CISCO IPSec, Server Addrers XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
User-Name, Password, Group-Name, Group-Key
now, I have tried to connect using shrew-ike. But the provided source cann't be compiled under lubuntu 19.10, and the pre-compiled version for debian leads to a core-dumped.
So I looked around and found "charon-cmd". Which I hope I can use.
Problem: I have not found, which switches (options) I have to set to connect to our VPN. Because our IT-Team only supports Windows/Mac, they have not many ideas either.
Has anyone found a way to connect to a VPN using charon-cmd?
Thanks for any help.
