VPNC Fortisgate

vpnc patched to work with Fortisgate.

The revision hosted in this repository is 550. The latest version can be found at http://svn.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/vpnc/trunk/.

Manual Setup

[email protected]:hekar/vpnc-fortisgate.git
cd vpnc-fortisgate/vpnc
make

Optionally it can also be installed. This is not recommended, as it will overwrite the vpnc client provided by your distribution and may not connect to other vpn providers. It is recommended that you save this patched version in /opt or elsewhere.

sudo make install

Run

If installed, you run this in the same manner you would run the standard vpnc (usually through NetworkManager.)

Not being a fan of NetworkManager, I prefer to run vpnc from the shell.

1. Create a configuration file and save it in your home directory "~/.vpnc-default":

IPSec gateway my.vpn.gateway
IPSec ID my.ipsec.id
IPSec secret mysecret

2. Start vpnc with the correct configuration file

sudo ./vpnc/vpnc ~/.vpnc-default

3. Disconnect using sudo ./vpnc/vpnc-disconnect or kill -9 <PID>

4. Add to $PATH
