ConnMan does not support ipsec yet.

ConnMan lacks a proper and integrated UI in major DM.

Do you have any plans to add this kind of support? As i understand we
simply need to spawn xl2tp client... ?

I sent in 2012 one proposal for IPSec, more details in this thread
https://lists.syncevolution.org/pipermail/connman/2012-January/007916.html

At that time it was agreed that IPSec functionality would need to be
integrated more tightly into ConnMan instead of being launched as a
separate daemon (racoon).

If you are able to contribute, patches are welcome.
