Has someone accomplished to connect to Fritzbox IPsec VPN? I tried the vpnc option offered by the new Settings UI VPN Config but had no luck with connecting. Could someone who has a running setup translate Fritzbox Android instructions -> Sailfish VPN UI settings?
If the UI is broken, instructions how to configure vpn from cli would be an appreciated workaround.

As stated in the release notes IPSec is not yet supported by the build-in VPN feature. Hopefully it will come in a following release.
Yes I'd like to be able to connect to my FritzBox VPN too.
The command-line tool vpnc seems to be available from the console:
[nemo@Sailfish ~]$ vpnc --version
vpnc version 0.5.3

So maybe this guide could work: Raspberry Pi als VPN Client an Fritzbox mit ipsec
I'm currently not at home to test it myself.

I'm successfully using the vpnc client from here: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=92338 (binary and instructions are right in post #1.
I've just downloaded and unpacked the vpnc.zip archive that is attached to the linked post #1.
The stock supplied version is probably still the old one from 2008 which does not have the patches. I did not try that one recently, but the version number it reports is still the old one.
/usr/sbin/vpnc --version
vpnc version 0.5.3
The version compiled by meShell does not report a version number:
[root@Sailfish nemo]# ./vpnc --version
vpnc version
Basically, all instructions are in the linked post. But it is mixed with info about e.g. compiling, which is not required for you as user.
So:
Unpack and make executable:
unzip vpnc.zip
chmod +x vpnc
Create / edit the config file:
nano /etc/vpnc/default.conf
Contents of /etc/vpnc/default.conf:
IPSec gateway server.domain
IPSec ID yourusername
IPSec secret yoursecret
IKE Authmode psk
Xauth username yourusername
Xauth password yourpassword
Replace server.domain, yourusername, yoursecret and yourpassword with your values.
I think you get the secret when you set up the VPN in the Fritzbox. server.domain is the name under which your box is reachable from the internet. It could be an IP address, a real host name or one from a DynDNS service.
To start vpnc:
./vpnc
ip route add 192.168.0.0/24 dev tun0
