VPN Connection to FritzVPN

Hey,
I'm trying to establish a VPN connection to my VPN. Normally its accessed via VPNC like described here: https://en.avm.de/service/vpn/tips-tricks/setting-up-a-vpn-connection-to-fritzbox-in-linux/
Now I'm trying to do the same for my UT device without making filesystem rewritable.My first idea was to establish it via libertine container. But this failed due to missing tun.
Sadly my knowledge about linux based OS isn't very good, so I don't know how to get it work without getting serious safety problems.
Can anyone give me a hint?

@marc123454321 "IPSec" is not supported yet. Only "Open VPN".
And AVM dosen't support OpenVPN... -
@thilov Hey thilov,
Thanks for your reply. I know there's no Ipsec support out of the box at the moment, but I was wondering if theres a possibility for a nice workarround since its a linux based os.

Only way is "normal" GNU/linux way i guess, so r/w and so... -
@keneda Hey keneda,
Thanks for your reply. I just tried to avoid the r/w option and go for a container solution. But if this wont work I have to go the way you're talking about since its a must have for me to connect to my vpn.
Have you tried a ipsec vpn connection with r/w system? Wont it be deleted with ota update?

No i didn't, i'm not an advanced user, however i installed evtest that way to help Flohack at my level https://forums.ubports.com/topic/5807/disabled-touch-keys-and-stable-channel/8?_=1618327155445
And yes you'll have to do it again after each OTA. Don't forget to save your data before doing this, as there is always a risk to brake uTouch system.

One way to go about any customizations that require mounting the root filesystem r/w is to capture it all in a script and then run this whenever an OTA has overridden your desired setup. (Not every OTA update will do so, it depends on what exactly gets updated in the specific OTA.) I have just such a setup for (in my case) changing the hostname of my devices. I am currently looking to automate this, but haven't yet put in the work needed.

@arubislander Hey,
Thanks for you're reply too. Actually i configured vpnc by making the system r/w and established a connection.
So I have to write a simple scipt and fo it like you told me.I have to say I'm really enthusiastic about the possibilities of UT. Its great.

@marc123454321 Ah if anyone try to do the same. After connecting i got a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255 on tun0 for unknown reasons and therefore cant reach any other ips. Just changed it.

@marc123454321 I wrote a script that makes open VPN connections for PrivateInternetAccess.com and developed and tested it on a Nexus 4. It works well. I see you are using a different VPN provider so I don't think it will work. If anyone needs such a script for their UT device, let me know and I can post it.
