I want to thank you for that wonderful gift! A long wanted feature :) I'll test the package and give feed back.
Is it fine to write bug reports here or else? I tested initial package v.4.5.0-*rc.. but had some problems with strongswan-applet ( after reboot, was blocking normal load and work of hildon-desktop, only way to uninstall it was to start terminal with hw keyboard and deinstall strongswan-applet, and reboot ) still ipsec was working fine, but all attempt to establish connection failed. I did not have time to dig in to the problem, but will upload now the new package and test again... Great work!
