[Swan] LibreSWAN and IPv6 Link Local addresses

Hi Bill & swan mailing list,

I read your post on the swan mailing list [1] and have been wondering if
you since had any luck configuring LibreSWAN with IPv6LL addressing;
I've been struggling with the same issue on StrongSWAN which
apparently[2] doesn't support IPv6LL addressing (or at least that was
the case 15 years ago). I'm now writing to you directly because there
has been no response to your posting on the mailing list, I didn't
really find much information elsewhere and I'm not yet married to any
particular IPSec implementation.

I'm also unsure whether the only issue is that the configuration file
parsers are not supporting %zone identifiers for both projects or if
there's more to it. Does anyone know?

CC'ing the list just in case.

Best regards
Moritz
