      Hello again,
      I must configure strongswan. So I download the source (tar.gz) with FreeBSD and do follow comands (after unpack):
      1. ./configure –xyz and
      2. make

      Then I zip the directory and copy it with scp to the pfsense.
      Now I want install the modify strongswan. But how? Yes I unzip it, but what the futher way?!
      I try only install (derived from make install), but doesn't it works.

      I don't want install a compiler on the pfSense!

      Someone a idee?
      Thanks for help.

        @questions:

        I must configure strongswan.

        That's done in VPN - IPsec GUI menu.

            This additional what? You'll just break things when you start overwriting shipped binaries with your compiled stuff.

                Sigh. What goal are you trying to achieve that's not possible with the strongswan shipped by pfSense?
