We now have a new IPsec VPN app for your HDA!
This VPN stack has many advantages, although it still requires two ports to be forwarded from your router to your HDA. These are
500 UDP and 4500 UDP
UDP, not TCP.
Here is how to set up clients for various client operating systems:
The Android (2.x/3.x) OS is known to be broken with respect to IPSec VPN.
Changing the Secret and/or the Group Name
Optionally, you can change the secret and/or group name.
For that, you have to be able to edit a system file as root.
Become root via ssh or a terminal and then edit this file:
/etc/racoon/psk.txt
This file has two field separated by at least one space. The first one is the Group name and the second is the Secret. Change them , keeping in mind that.
The changes will be picked up automatically a few seconds later. If you want to make sure, perform a:
service racoon restart
