Please upgrade to the latest 4.2rc1 that was pushed into fedora two days ago to avoid an nss bug causing libreswan to restart.

You can configure windows to use an IKEv2 VPN or use the older IKEv1 based IPsec/L2TP.

WireGuard is not IKE/IPsec based. It requires a third party client instead of the build in OS IPsec client. Libreswan is also not a WireGuard implementation.

Yes, see our libreswan examples on the website.

IKE/IPsec is the only native VPN client for Windows. Everything else requires third party clients.
