IPSec service is not starting

I'm trying to connect to a l2tp VPN with NetworkManager but I get the error "Starting the service providing the VPN failed" (Yes, I have the l2tp package from AUR). I checked journalctl and it said "IPSec not found" so then I installed the ipsec-tools package but now I can't start the ipsec service. Output from systemctl status ipsec:

● ipsec.service - Load IPSec Security Policy Database

Help?
