+  The stroke starter interface has been not recommended by upstream 
+  for some time now.  The default interface for controlling the charon
+  daemon has switched from stroke to vici. Users still using the
+  legacy config files such as ipsec.conf and ipsec.secret (stroke, starter)
+  can easily revert to the old behavior by: 
+  
+  # sysrc strongswan_interface="stroke"
+ 
+  It is recommended to transition using vici wich is configured by swanctl.conf.
