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.

Proton VPN for Linux is Totally F*cked UP
You do know that Linux has native GUI support for VPNs don't you? Install the strongSwan suite from your distribution. This will enable IPsec/IKEv2 on your machine.

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.
- Any Selfhosted VPN which can be connected via inbuilt VPN settings of Windows?
- Name of a whitebox vpn client

IPSEC Vpn to Fortigate from Linux - possible or options?
Pretty much any IPSec client should work, doesn't have to be FortiClient. Quick Google search shows this as a possible option: https://www.strongswan.org/

Proton VPN for Linux is Totally F*cked UP
All this to say, the Linux app, both CLI and GUI is broken, hasn’t been addressed (till very recently), does not have feature parity to the other apps and this isn’t opinion, it’s observable and validated fact from the community and Proton themselves: https://github.com/ProtonVPN/linux-cli/issues/64

A detailed appraisal of the Proton VPN Linux client
Basically, I assume Proton has already abandoned their Linux client (both gui and cli). Look at their github repositories (https://github.com/ProtonVPN/linux-app and https://github.com/ProtonVPN/linux-cli). Their last commit was half year ago, while windows, android, ios and mac client are still actively maintained.
- 7 Month Later Still No Wireguard Support....
- I actually figured something out on my own!!!

- Why do I have to delete ipv6 leak connection each time I want to connect on Linux?
