Hi,

I'm trying to configure a forwarding VPN (as per 
http://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/strongswan/wiki/ForwardingAndSplitTunneling)
 for some older Windows machines. These machines run Vista and XP.

Regarding the former, I see that Vista support appears possible (via 
http://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/strongswan/wiki/WindowsSuiteB), though I 
have yet to successfully set up a working connection. The setup outlined on the 
SuiteB page looks like it would cause the connection to the VPN gateway to be 
set up automatically upon any attempted connection to the remote network (in 
this case, the entire internet). It would do this via Windows firewall rules. 
This is rather different than the way I set up Windows 7, which was through 
Windows "Set up a connection or network" GUI. The latter GUI has the advantage 
of being able to connect and disconnect from the VPN easily. Is the firewall 
approach the only way to set up a Vista client for a Strongswan server? If not, 
what kind of server-side config should I be using?

Regarding XP, does Strongswan support the native XP VPN client (again, via 
Windows' "Setup a connection or network" wizard) at all? I have been unable to 
find any guides online.

Best Regards,
Eric
