About:
Openiked is a portable implementation of the IKEv2 (Internet Key Exchange version 2) protocol, derived from the OpenBSD iked daemon. It provides robust IPsec encryption and authentication for secure network communications. This formula allows macOS and Linux users to deploy the same reliable security stack found in OpenBSD systems.
Key Features:
  • IKEv2 and IPsec protocol support
  • Derived from secure OpenBSD codebase
  • Lightweight and efficient daemon
  • Cross-platform portability
Use Cases:
  • Setting up secure VPN gateways
  • Establishing encrypted site-to-site tunnels
  • Protecting sensitive network traffic
Alternatives:
  • strongSwan – More feature-rich and complex; Openiked offers a simpler, security-focused configuration
  • Libreswan – Linux-centric IPsec implementation; Openiked provides a more portable alternative
