GoKawiilGSoC 2026 project overhauls NAT traversal and IPv6 support in NetBSD's racoon2 IKE daemon
Google Summer of Code participant Artem Belan spent summer 2026 reworking racoon2, NetBSD's IKEv1/IKEv2 key exchange daemon, fixing RFC 7383 message fragmentation, adding NAT-OA payload handling for IKEv1 Quick Mode, improving IPv6 support, and building an automated test suite. The work was merged upstream via pull requests #13 through #39 on the project's gsoc2026 branch between June and September 2026.
