Issue #3498
FreeBSD + dhcp+farp plugin
Description
Hello!
Is it possible to make working dhcp and farp plugin in FreeBSD?
As I understand, by default strongswan isn't compile with this options.
When I want to install strongswan from ports collection and run "make config-recursive" in "/usr/ports/security/strongswan" directory, i don't see options "dhcp" or "farp".

Unfortunately, it's not so simple to port these plugins because FreeBSD does not support AF/PF_PACKET sockets, which both use. It might be possible to somehow use libpcap (or bpf directly) on FreeBSD, but I'm sure it would be quite some work.

As I understand, it isn't possible to request a virtual IP from FreeBSD DHCP Server (DHCP is running on the same host as the strongswan daemon)?

With 5.9.2, the farp plugin will work on macOS and FreeBSD.
