Checklist

Has anybody changed the IKEv2 setup script to work with your own self-signed certificates? I want to be able to use the same CA and client certificates as I do for other VPN connections.

There are a lot of forks, so I have been unable to go through them all to see if anybody has already done this.

@eggbean Hello! Your use case would require importing your existing CA and client certificate(s) as well as private key(s) into the Libreswan certificate store. I'm not sure about the details, I'd suggest that you ask on the Libreswan users mailing list [1].
