[vpnc-devel] VPNC Support

[Ron Joffe]

We have been a user of vpnc for quite a number of years and been very happy 
with the tool.

As can be seen from the discussion on this list recently, the project seems 
somewhat fragmented at this time. In addition some much needed enhancements 
(such as full rekeying support) and future functional compatibilities (such 
as the new CISCO ASA5500 series VPN devices) are required.

We would hate to see vpnc drift apart into disrepair (disuse). If the right 
person/group with the right skills were available to implement the required 
enhancements, and get this project back into a merged and maintainable state 
(utilizing sourceforge as a repository or some other such site), we would 
like to find some funds to sponsor them.

In summary if you think you have the skills and drive to get vpnc back to 
where it needs to be (the open source replacement for CISCO's vpn client 
software), Please contact me and we will see what we can do.

I would like to get as much feedback from the user community about this.

Our hit list includes:

1. Rekeying support
2. ASA5500 support
3. Multiple tunnel support
4. Sourceforge type implementation
5. Firewalling from remote site
6. Documentation

Thanks,

Ron
