Hello Luís, part of the role of Ubuntu main is to have an opinion on 'good' packages that provide a feature. We already have StrongSwan, WireGuard, OpenVPN, in main, and all these are for very open VPN protocols and implementations.

OpenConnect may be vastly nicer than the proprietary products it aims to interoperate with, but the interop comes at a strong cost, as apparently peer products can be a decade or more behind the times. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssl/+bug/1963834 for an example.

I'm not saying that we can't have OpenConnect in main but you'll need to have a very strong case to get a team to step up and commit to support it.

Thanks
