I am looking to get my Chromebook connected to a VPN. Here are the details I have been given:

For Linux it’s possible to use vpnc to connect to the VPN:

IPSec gateway ukvpn.host.com
IPSec ID Host-token
IPSec obfuscated secret #some-hex-string#
Xauth username youruser.name
Local Port 10000
#Nat Traversal Mode cisco-udp # may help with "target not responding"

Is it possible to connect my Chromebook to the VPN with the above details...I'm struggling to see how they map to the details here:

Server hostname: The name of the server you need to connect with to access your VPN. This can either be the IP address or the full server hostname.
Service name: This can be anything you want to name this connection. For example: "Work VPN."
Provider type: If you use a passphrase or key besides your personal password to connect to your VPN, select L2TP/IPsec + Pre-shared key. If you use certificates that your administrator gives you, select L2TP/IPsec + User certificate.
Pre-shared key: This key isn't your personal password, but a passphrase or key used to connect to the VPN.
Server CA certificate: Select your installed server VPN certificate from the list.
User certificate: Select your installed user VPN certificate from the list. If you don't have any certificates installed, you'll see an error message. To install a certificate, see the instructions below.
Username: Your VPN credentials.
Password: Your VPN credentials.
OTP: If you have an OTP card or VPN token that generates one-time passwords, generate a password and enter it here.
Group name: The name of the VPN setup, if applicable.
