Hi,

Looks like your user or VPS is not allowed to create TUN devices,
kernel-libipsec won't work without this.

These threads all cause a segmentation fault when they try to access
their respective blocking queue instance.  Perhaps your build is
inconsistent (e.g. an older version of libstrongswan mixed with a newer
build of libipsec).  You could try running strongSwan in GDB (e.g. via
`ipsec start --attach-gdb`) to find out more.  Also try uninstalling any
previously installed versions of strongSwan.

Regards,
Tobias
