[strongSwan] Newbie and overwhelmed

[Jeremy Beker]

Jon,

I know the feeling and even after using it for a year or so I still feel that way.  I think over time I have found that looking at the test cases and finding sample configurations that match mine has been the most helpful.

Look here: http://www.strongswan.org/testresults4.html

Given what you said, you would want the IKEv2 section and then search for examples that use PSK.

-Jeremy
