FortiClient for Linux with IPSec VPN support (strongSwan?)

Hi, I use FortiClient for Windows with FortiToken Mobile to create IPSec VPN connection and everything works fine. Currently I'm switching from Windows 7 to Linux CentOS 7 and I'm very surprised that FortiClient for Linux doesn't have option to create a VPN connection.

 

How to create IPSec VPN connection in CentOS Linux? (IPSec/Pre-shared key/IKE v1/AES/SHA/FortiToken)

What FortiClient alternative for Linux do you recommend? (strongSwan?)

Strongswan is ideal, but NCP is also an alternative very flexible to use.

NCP might be better from a support but it's not free. If you where managing a dozen or os of  some end-points than strongswan, if you where managing thousands of end-points and across multiple of OSes. NCP would be ideal
