tl;dr setting up IPsec is a pain in the arse, so by the power of way too many lines of Bash it has been made simpler. Comments, pull requests, criticism welcome.
I presume that this is a flavor of IPsec that NSA can't pwn.
Hopefully. If anyone has more info, please share!
But why do we need IPsec? What's the advantage over OpenVPN?
I needed an encrypted back-end link between several servers, so that even if any set of them goes down, encrypted comms keep working between all of the rest.
OpenVPN felt more like client-server thingy, more slated towards a star topology. IPsec is node-node (at least in this particular usecase).
But I might be missing something here, so again, comments welcome.
OK, I get it. I've never used IPsec. OpenVPN doesn't do many to many.
