Pulling My Hair Out Over Netplan
u/GamerLymx The setup goal was, originally, to set this up as a desktop testing router using FRRouting so I could experiment with some technologies I work with, namely OpenFabric without having to buy a $6k switch (Extreme Networks) as well as OSPF and EIGRP. However, I ran into some issues with setting up FRRouting and could not find sufficient information out there to overcome those. So I decided to just turn it into a plain router using NFTables, etc., when I ran into the issues with Netplan.

FRRouting and NordVPN
Has anyone ever setup FRRouting to connect to a consumer VPN such as NordVPN? I have been Googling but have come up empty so I am assuming it is not something that can be done. Just the same, I thought I would ask in case I am asking the question wrong in my searches.

Right, so it turns out that FRR (the routing plugin for opnsense) doesn't support multiple address familys in ospfv3. It is down as a feature request here and is closed as issue #303.

Configuring an IPsec VPN connection with OpenIKED
IPsec is commonly employed by enterprise-grade VPN solutions such as FortiGate for its excellent security and richness of features, though open-source implementations such as OpenIKED and strongSwan also exist. It uses Internet Key Exchange (IKE) under the hood which is further divided into IKEv1 and IKEv2, the latter a more modern and secure version of the former.

Self-hosted VPN with LDAP Support
So far it seems that strongswan is my best bet and wireguard with the WG-portal seems interesting. I was hoping someone could give me insight into either of these options, or any options in general.
