I’m trying to use the certificate generated by letsencrypt for my ikev2 vpn, 
and I use swanctl.conf

I copied either cert.pem or fullchain.pem to swanctl/x509 as cert.pem, and 
specify certs.pem to local.certs. When starting charon, it fails with

loading ‘/path/to/cert.pem’ failed: parsing X509 certificate failed

It seems swanctl doesn’t directly support the certificate generated by 
letsencrypt? Is it possible to convert manually?

Another quick question, if I name the pem file as mydomain.com.pem, charon 
fails with invalid syntax for certs, and it also fails with the same reason if 
I put it in a subfolder in x509 and specify mydomain.com/cert.pem 
<http://mydomain.com/cert.pem> to certs. Does that main cert file shouldn’t 
contain more than two dots in the file name? And subfolder isn’t supported?

Thanks a lot.
