The client side story for IPSec is great, but configuring the (strongSwan) server is far from trivial. There are many decisions to make, and mistakes to avoid.

Yes, amazing projects like Algo exists, but you can't use these on all platforms (ex: OpenWRT).
My hope is that wireguard will provide a much easier (and safer) setup experience.

- josteink 8y agoThat's only one of many legitemate uses for a VPN. Personally I use a VPN to connect back to my homenet when I'm out on the road, or to connect to my company's network when out of office. If you think the only usage of a VPN is anonymizing your IP, you have an incredibly lacking understanding of the history and use-cases for a VPNs.
