Hi,


a simple way, is to use the GUI.

- you can use "nm-connection-editor" or (Gnome3's) "gnome-control-
center". For that, ensure you installed the gtk part of the
NetworkManager-libreswan plugin. Then, edit the profile in the GUI.

- use KDE's plasma-nm. It brings its own GUI plug to edit libreswan
profiles.

- theoretically, you can edit the profile with nmcli. But that is
inconvenient, because it's non-obvious which keys to set. There is no
good documentation, but have a look at the source [1].

If you use the GUI, it should be simple enough, because few options are
supported.


best,
Thomas
