[strongSwan] Transport mode for Windows Vista/7 RoadWarriors?

[Tristan Ball]

Thanks Andreas.

Yes, I saw that - and I'll probably use that functionality for a separate set of requirements. Unfortunately for this particular instance, the customer has decreed "No VPNs" - I think partly for support reasons within their own organisation.

Which is why I was hoping to use the security connection profiles function instead, not because the underlying technology is different, but because the end user experience is, with the connection profile configured on the windows client, the ipsec connection is setup automatically without the user being aware of it.

I'm going to test windows -> windows as well, to see if I can make that work, and if not it's back to the drawing board. :-)

Thanks,
        Tristan

Hello Tristan,

The Windows 7 Agile VPN client has great IKEv2 support which allows the installation of a virtual IP via the IKEv2 configuration payload.
Please have a look at our Win7 <-> strongSwan HOWTO:

Kind regards

Andreas
