Some (many) community members have expressed interest in an IPsec VPN .. so they can access the VPN from their phones!

Please add notes of what you learn

We hope to prepare a "one-click" installer for this.

OpenSwan is on open source IPsec server that is an RPM avaialble in Fedora (yum install openswan), and here's a link to a HOWTO to start using it!


Another good link VPN - Linux and iPhone 3G/Mac OS X

http://wiki.openswan.org/index.php/Openswan/Install

'NOTE: YOU "MUST" REMOVE OPENVPN BEFORE DOING THIS'

To remove OpenVPN do the following command (as root) in terminal:

yum remove openvpn openvpn-server


To get started:

yum install openswan ppp x12tpd openssl (answer yes as required)


Based on http://searchenterpriselinux.techtarget.com/tip/0,289483,sid39_gci1286413,00.html


create your conf file

/etc/ipsec.d/yourconf.conf


get a copy of

/etc/ipsec.d/examples/no_oe.conf


Create your own server certificate and follow instructions from this link!

back to yourconf.conf file ... set certificates location

/etc/pki_jungle/myCA/certs/server.crt

... ipsec.conf file ready!


service ipsec start to start the ipsec server


Still need to :

i. Configuring xl2tpd

ii. Configuring pppd

iii. Launching the VPN


Setting Up A better place to start!
