Libreswan is a fork of the Openswan IPsec VPN implementation.
Libreswan was created by almost all of the Openswan developers after a lawsuit about the ownership of the Openswan name was filed against Paul Wouters, the release manager of Openswan, in December 2012.[3][4][5] The lawsuit was later settled out of court.[3][4]
Libreswan supports most of the common types of IPsec configurations people use including configurations like a host-to-host VPN, subnet to subnet VPN.[6]
