I notice the package ipsec-tools is missing in OpenWrt 21.02. Am I the only one using the ipsec-tools? I know this package is well outdated, but what is the proper way to have ipsec-tools included in the official OpenWrt release?
Thanks for your answers.
Afaik there is strongswan for ipsec in OpenWrt so you should use that.
ipsec-tools was removed for security reasons (project abandoned http://ipsec-tools.sourceforge.net/ ) and will not be coming back
See the discussion of OpenWrt developers here
https://github.com/openwrt/packages/issues/7832
The only way to use it is to create your own source repo with the old code before it was removed (see the deleted code here https://github.com/aparcar/packages/commit/96be603258263ec5a8dc909ce9aff565262ba9ac ) and compile it from source.
