Good timing! WireGuard is in the kernel and version 1.0.0 has been
released. Devuan doesn't provide a package yet, but it is pretty easy to
build and install from source. I've been running it for months,
replacing OpenVPN Tunnels. WireGuard is much faster, and I found it
easier to configure and debug.

As I understand it, FreeSwan is defunct. but OpenSwan is around. Can't
comment on it, as I haven't used IPSEC VPNs
