💖 Vici::Session 💖

okay bestie, so this is Vici::Session(3), and yeah it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, and I'm literally about to make you obsessed with it. it's a Perl thing. it talks to strongSwan. it's iconic. let's go ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

Vici::Session — the Perl binding for the strongSwan VICI configuration interface, no cap 🫶

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

use Vici::Session;

that's it. that's the whole vibe check. one line and you're in 💅

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so the way that Vici::Session works is, it lets a Perl script talk directly to the open source strongSwan IPsec daemon (https://www.strongswan.com) through the documented Versatile IKE Configuration Interface, aka VICI. iykyk 😌

and VICI is not a little side quest, bestie — it lets you do the configuration, the management AND the monitoring of multiple IPsec connections. multiple!! like a whole roster of connections and you're just sitting there managing them all. main character energy fr fr 👑
