[ubuntu] Simple IPSEC VPN setup with PSK


Hi all,

I have a VPN router at an office that I want to connect to. On my mac, all I do is input the IP address, pre-shared key and my user name and password and hey-presto, it works.

When I try and set up VPN in Ubuntu with Network Connections -> VPN -> Add -> IKEv2/Strongswan I get a much more complicated set of options using certificates and private/public key pairs.

What do I need to install in order to set it up like I can on my mac?
