VPN client(s) support on FreeBSD (OpenVPN, PPTP, L2TP, Cisco, SSTP)

Hi FreeBSD community,

I’m a daily MacOS and Arch Linux (Gnome). For work, I often need to connect to customers’ remote networks via SSH using various VPN protocols, including OpenVPN, Cisco AnyConnect, L2TP, and others.
On Arch, I install the following packages:

#pacman -S networkmanager-openvpn networkmanager-pptp networkmanager-vpnc networkmanager-strongswan networkmanager-l2tp network-manager-sstp networkmanager-openconnect openconnect


My question is: does FreeBSD have the same or similar packages available? If I switch to FreeBSD, will I be able to find and install them easily?
Thank you in advance for any suggestions or advice!

I use openvpn daily.
Code: 
sudo pkg install openvpn
. That's the only one know about for sure, I have a few vague memories of a few others, but hopefully, someone with more knowledge will give more complete answers. Doing a pkg search and leaving out the networkmanager part shows that there are packages for vpnc, pptpclient, anyconnect and strongswan. I didn't see anything for sstip,and I wasn't sure if the l2tpd package has a client aspect.
Also, I note that on Arch I'm guessing you use Network Manager, which I don't believe we have.
But you're better off waiting till someone more knowledgable sees this. It's early morning on the US East coast, and I'm just procrastinating doing my exercise. I plan to do it ASAP, which for me, stands for After Some Additional Procrastination.
 
strongswan for ike v2, mpd5 + strongswan for l2p+ipsec
i only use them for the server end but client should work too
for me it works with windows/ios/macos/android clients

Google them without networkmanager prefix, you can search for packages on freshports.org.

I don't think you would see some GUI for these tools here on FreeBSD but I assume you were using networkmanager's GUI for this on Linux.
