====== VPN - Server configuration ======

===== IPsec / strongswan =====

==== Requirements ====

Please install strongswan and check that the version matches the one installed in the gateway. On firmware 4.0.x, the IPsec version is:

<code bash>
ipsec --version
Linux strongSwan U5.5.3/K4.14.9-klk
Institute for Internet Technologies and Applications
University of Applied Sciences Rapperswil, Switzerland
See 'ipsec --copyright' for copyright information.
</code>

A server with root access is required. This guide was written with Debian 8.

It is assumed that the PKI was set up, if not, please see the [[ wiki:network_mana:vpn_pki| PKI configuration]] page.

==== Configuration ====

The main configuration file describes the VPN connection:

<code file /etc/ipsec.conf>
# ipsec.conf - strongSwan IPsec configuration file

# basic configuration

config setup

	dpdaction=clear
	dpddelay=300s

	auto=add

conn kerlink
        leftid="C=FR, O=Kerlink, CN=vpn.hostname.tld"
        leftsubnet=your_server_subnet
        leftcert=vpncert.pem
        rightid="C=FR, O=Kerlink, CN=klk-lpbs-060434"
        rightsubnet=your_network_subnet
</code>

Most of the parameters are defined in the default section, but they could be put under the ''kerlink'' connection should the server have more than one VPN connection.

==== Secrets ====

The secrets file stores all the credentials information. In our case, we only have one line for the VPN server identification (RSA key) and one line per client (certificate):

<code file /etc/ipsec.secrets>
# This file holds shared secrets or RSA private keys for authentication.

# RSA private key for this host, authenticating it to any other host
# which knows the public part.

# this file is managed with debconf and will contain the automatically created private key
include /var/lib/strongswan/ipsec.secrets.inc

: RSA vpnkey.pem

</code>

The syntax is ''identifier : type <parameters>''.

  * When the ''identifier'' is empty, it is assumed that it describes the server. Hence, ''type'' is ''RSA'' and the ''parameters'' is the RSA key file name, relative to ''/etc/ipsec.d/private''.
  * Otherwise, this can identify clients. In this case, we identify the certificate in the ''identifier'', and the private RSA key.

===== OpenVPN =====

Here is a sample server side configuration file:

<code conf /etc/openvpn/server.conf>
# UDP tunnel on port 1194
port 1194
proto udp
dev tun

# Server identification and security parameters
pkcs12 /etc/openvpn/server-cert.p12
dh /etc/openvpn/dh2048.pem

# LAN information and network configuration
topology subnet
server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0
ifconfig-pool-persist ipp.txt 86400
mssfix 1200
push "route 172.17.0.0 255.255.0.0"
push "route 172.18.0.0 255.255.0.0"
push "dhcp-option DNS 10.8.0.1"

# Connection management
comp-lzo
keepalive 15 120
cipher AES-256-CBC

# Daemon configuration
user nobody
group nogroup

# Persist across restarts
persist-key
persist-tun
persist-local-ip
persist-remote-ip

# Management options
status openvpn-status.log
verb 4
management localhost 6666
script-security 2
</code>

Start with:

<code bash>
openvpn /etc/openvpn/server.conf
</code>
