!! Your strongswan.conf contains manual plugin load options for charon.<br>!! This is recommended for experts only, see<br>!! <a href="http://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/strongswan/wiki/PluginLoad">http://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/strongswan/wiki/PluginLoad</a><br>
brianswan3@brianswan3-VirtualBox:/etc$ sudo ipsec status<br>Security Associations (0 up, 0 connecting):<br> none<br><br></div>3.
The fact that it shows no security associations implies to me that it
didn't work. Is this true and is there something obvious that I'm doing
wrong?<br><br>Thanks,<br></div> Brian</div>
