[Bug 1309594] Re: kernel-libipsec not loading

[Tony Zhou]

Hi Martin,

strongswan-plugin-kernel-libipsec does provide the plugin (or
supposedly) in Ubuntu 14.04.

There are two reasons (or at least mine) to use kernel-libipsec, one is
that kernel-libipsec provides a separate interface so that
filtering/inspecting the packets would be easier with iptables, and
second is that for OpenVZ-based platforms, kernel-libipsec is necessary
to make both L2TP/IPSec and IKEv1 to work properly simultaneously
(although for L2TP case tunnel mode must be used). I have tested that
kernel-netlink alone will fail to forward the packets between the
gateway and IKEv1 clients.

Best,
TZ
