Which GUI are you using? If you're using the GNOME control center, then it looks like the OpenSWAN plugin might have some bugs that prevent it from working with the control center network panel. One workaround would be to use nm-connection-editor instead for now. > I'm totally new to IPsec and the VPN firewall vendor doesn't have a > Linux client :( All I have are the parameters given to me by the > network admin.

Best thing to do is give it a shot and see what happens; if things don't work we can debug further. Let us know!
