ipsec-up - Establish a connection

ipsec up connection [--ctlsocket /run/pluto/pluto.ctl]

ipsec up connection operation asks pluto to establish a connection specified in internal database.

To add and up a connection with single command use ipsec start connection. These both have same effect as configuration option auto=start on startup.

Note: you might also need to run ipsec rereadsecrets when your new connection uses pre-shared key (PSK) authentication, authby=secret because secrets keys are only being read at startup.
