Hi,
I am evaluating pritunl but have hit the following installation issue on both centos 7 and Oracle 8.5.
I intend to run pritunl behind an Edgeos router (ER6P). My test pritunl server is on Oracle Linux Server 8.5.
The web server is up and running .
When I try to run the following command I get the conflicts as shown at the bottom of this message.
[root@localhost ComTel]# sudo yum -y install pritunl-link

You need to remove the existing strongswan and libreswan packages. The Pritunl repository has a newer build of strongswan that is consistent across all distributions and tested with pritunl-link.
