It seems there is an active fork available:

https://github.com/streambinder/vpnc/

I checked and Arch for example is using the source in that repo for the package:

https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/vpnc/

Just noting in case someone steps in to maintain the package.

Regards,
Mikel

This is unfortunate as to my knowledge it is still the vpn-client that
would be used for the - at least in Germany - wide spread
Fritz-Box-Devices.
With very recent firmware updates Fritz-Boxes now do offer Wireguard-VPN as
well but not running anything like
a dyndns-client on the Fritz-Box (behind another router supplied by the
internet-provider e.g.) I wasn't able to
configure Wireguard-VPN. With the legacy VPN a port-forwarding on the
router facing the internet was enough.

Would be curious as well if there is anything else available that would
work with the Fritz-Box-VPN.
vpnc btw. has a 'fix' specific to Fritz-Box btw. which might mean that
other implementations might not work for that purpose.

The only package which depends on vpnc is NetworkManager-vpnc.

There is no active upstream for vpnc. However, according to the bug 
reports for NetworkManager-vpnc, there might be still a few users.





Just curious - are there other IPsec implementations that could fill the 
gap of vpnc? Or is vpnc very specific?

Intent to orphan vpnc

[Christian Krause]

Hello,

vpnc is a VPN client which can be used with certain VPN devices:
https://www.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/~massar/vpnc/

The last co-maintainer who actively maintained the package for the last few
years just stepped back. Since I don't have a use case for it anymore (and
no ability for testing), I'm going to orphan it in the next few days.

The only package which depends on vpnc is NetworkManager-vpnc.

There is no active upstream for vpnc. However, according to the bug
reports for NetworkManager-vpnc, there might be still a few users.


Best regards,
Christian
