    No and certainly never will. SSL VPNs and IPSec are completly 
different techniques, despite the fact both provides secure communication.

    If you need to secure connection from your own program, stick with 
OpenSSL and forget IPSec. If you want to secure the whole network 
traffic thus allowing your programs to transmit insecure data which will 
be secured on the network layer, then IPSec is the answer for your 
problems !

    IPSec secures things on network layer. SSL Secures things on 
application layer.
