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
