This is unfortunate as to my knowledge it is still the vpn-client that
would be used for the - at least in Germany - wide spread
Fritz-Box-Devices.
With very recent firmware updates Fritz-Boxes now do offer Wireguard-VPN as
well but not running anything like
a dyndns-client on the Fritz-Box (behind another router supplied by the
internet-provider e.g.) I wasn't able to
configure Wireguard-VPN. With the legacy VPN a port-forwarding on the
router facing the internet was enough.

Just curious - are there other IPsec implementations that could fill the
gap of vpnc? Or is vpnc very specific?
Would be curious as well if there is anything else available that would
work with the Fritz-Box-VPN.
vpnc btw. has a 'fix' specific to Fritz-Box btw. which might mean that
other implementations might not work for that purpose.
