DESCRIPTION

10     The ikec Qt GUI application provides a simple interface for users to
11     interact with iked(8) ( Shrew Soft IKE Daemon ). This interface allows a
12     user to control an IPsec VPN Client connection with a remote gateway. The
13     parameters used for the connection are described in a Site Configuration
14     file. For more information about managing Site Configuration files,
15     please see the ikea(1) man page. Please note, the ikec application is not
16     typically started directly by a user but as a sub-process of the ikea(1)
17     Qt GUI application.
