hello!
I had the need to configure the vpn client on a linux server with no gui, so I couldn’t use the Network Manager gui to setup the VPN.
I figured out that it’s possible to setup the VPN using just the command line, with the following instruction using a redhat/centos based distro:

first of all, follow the instruction to setup a ikev2 vpn client on linux, then, instead of following the GUI instruction, issue the following command:

sudo nmcli c add type vpn ifname — vpn-type strongswan connection.id connection.autoconnect no vpn.data ‘address = , certificate = , encap = no, esp = aes128gcm16, ipcomp = no, method = key, proposal = yes, usercert = , userkey = , virtual = yes’

you can then start the vpn connection with:

maybe these instructions could be added to the howto, but they might need some testing with other linux clients.

I hope you find this useful!

I think you are missing the connection.id parameter just after vpn-type strongswan

Also check that nmcli is managing your default connection, otherwise it won’t know what connection to tie the VPN session to.

NetworkManager

NetworkManager allows configuration and control of VPN daemons through a plugin interface. We provide such a plugin for NetworkManager to configure roadwarrior clients for the most common setups. The plugin supports connections using the IKEv2 protocol only.

NetworkManager uses D-Bus to communicate with a special build of the charon IKE daemon ( charon-nm ) which runs independently of the regular daemon (e.g. charon-systemd ) to avoid conflicts.

The plugin uses a certificate for server authentication and supports EAP and public key authentication for client authentication (since version 5.8.3 / NetworkManager-strongswan 1.5.0 also EAP-TLS ). PSK authentication is supported starting with version 1.3.1 of the plugin but strong secrets (a minimum of 20 characters) are enforced.

You can use any password based EAP method supported by strongSwan ( MD5 / GTC / MSCHAPv2 ) or public key authentication. Private keys are either stored in a file or accessed through your ready-to-use ssh-agent . You’ll need a certificate matching that key. Also private keys and certificates on a smart card can be used (see below for details).

If you configure the server certificate directly on the clients, there are no requirements to the certificate. If you deploy CA certificates, the server certificate will need a subjectAltName including the host name of the server (the same you enter in the client’s configuration). Since version 5.8.3 / NetworkManager-strongswan 1.5.0 it’s possible to configure the server identity explicitly. You can also use preinstalled root CA certificates of your distribution, using the —with-nm-ca-dir ./configure option. Since version 5.5.1 this can also be modified with the charon-nm.ca_dir setting in strongswan.conf . Just don’t specify any server/CA certificate in the GUI to use preinstalled root certificates. CA certificates on a smart card are automatically used.

Authentication: EAP
Username: [your vpn username]

There are two potential formats for your vpn username. You must use the one you selected when you activated your service. If you do not remember, you can log in to your account on our website here here and under your active service it says “USERNAME”. This is your VPN username.

#1: Your email = W\your@email.com
#2: WiTopia username = username@witopia

You MUST use a Capital W with a backslash “\” if your vpn username is an email.
If you have a username ending in “@witopia” then you do *not* use W\ before the username or “.net” after the username

Password: [your vpn password]
