[strongSwan] Strongswan[5.4.0] unix:///var/run/charon.vici

[Andreas Steffen]

Hi Rajeev,

is the charon daemon running? If not, either start charon manually:

   sudo /usr/local/libexec/ipsec/charon &

or if your Linux distribution still uses upstart, copy the
following script to /etc/init.d/

 
https://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/strongswan/repository/revisions/master/entry/testing/hosts/default/etc/init.d/charon

and start the charon daemon in the appropriate runlevels.

If your Linux distribution uses systemd instead, compile and
install strongSwan with

    ./config --enable-systemd

and enable and start the strongswan-swanctl service.

BTW - in order to use the vici socket you must be root. Thus

   sudo swanctl --load-conn

Best regards

Andreas
