Building VPNs with OpenBSD and IPSEC

Contributed by jason on 2011-02-19 from the sup-dawg-we-heard-you-like-kryption dept.

Found a new blog post from a recent tweet by @knightgats. Check out his tutorial on setting up your own site-to-site VPN with OpenBSD IPSec. This is well-covered territory, but it never hurts to see a refresher for new users.

The author walks thorugh all steps of:

Enabling the IPSec protocols in /etc/sysctl.conf
Creating your /etc/ipsec.conf rules
Filtering the IPSec traffic with PF
Synchronizing your IPSec host keys
Troubleshooting your connection

Fantastic stuff! Any chance of seeing an IKEv2 / iked(4) howto? I've played around with it but couldn't get the EAP authentication working. I know it's still fairly new, though.
