I set this up a few weeks ago on a linux vps I'm using for dev. IPSEC with IKEV2 and certificates. Native clients on windows 10 and Ubuntu laptop (needed a network-manager plugin to be built), and took the shortcut and used the StrongSwan app on android.

The process was complex and there are things I still don't understand but it does work and the documentation and examples are quite comprehensive. The only issue I had with them was they assume a fair amount of familiarity with subjects that I didn't have. I'm mainly a serverside developer not a network admin, and whilst I have a vague understanding of how certs work I didn't have much awareness of VPN protocols or terminology so I had to abuse google pretty thoroughly.

It took about a day to do and I had to watch logs from server and client to figure it out, but it was interesting. I'm still pleased with the results and would recommend the product.
