Yes, drop freeswan.

I've been thinking of checking out ssl over udp (openvpn) because of the
problems I've been having with freeswan.

I'll give openswan a try to see how it's working for me.

Maybe it's my own fault for sticking with PSKs... :-/

It was sad that I couldn't even fix a shell script with any hope of the
changes being accepted upstream just because I live in the US.
