<P>Vanilla FreeS/WAN implements<A HREF="compat.html#compat"> these parts</A>
of the IPSec specifications. You can add more with<A HREF="http://www.freeswan.ca">
Super FreeS/WAN</A>, but what we offer may be enough for many users.</P>
<UL>
<LI> To use X.509 certificates with FreeS/WAN, you will need the<A HREF="http://www.strongsec.org/freeswan">
X.509 patch</A> or<A HREF="http://www.freeswan.ca"> Super FreeS/WAN</A>
, which includes that patch.</LI>
<LI> To use<A HREF="glossary.html#NAT.gloss"> Network Address
Translation</A> (NAT) traversal with FreeS/WAN, you will need Arkoon
Network Security's<A HREF="http://open-source.arkoon.net"> NAT
traversal patch</A> or<A HREF="http://www.freeswan.ca"> Super FreeS/WAN</A>
, which includes it.</LI>
</UL>
<P>We offer a set of proposals which is not user-adjustable, but covers
all combinations that we can offer. FreeS/WAN always proposes triple
DES encryption and Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS). In addition, we
propose Diffie Hellman groups 5 and 2 (in that order), and MD5 and
SHA-1 hashes. We accept the same proposals, in the same order of
preference.</P>
<P>Other interop notes:</P>
<UL>
<LI> A<A HREF="http://lists.freeswan.org/archives/users/2003-September/msg00462.html">
SHA-1 bug in FreeS/WAN 2.00, 2.01 and 2.02</A> may affect some interop
scenarios. It does not affect 1.x versions, and is fixed in 2.03 and
later.</LI>
<LI> Some other implementations will close a connection with FreeS/WAN
after some time. This may be a problem with rekey lifetimes. Please see<A
