|
Security Focus, February 28, 2006</strong></font><br> |
|
This article, as its lead-in says, |
|
"looks at how to get a fully functional IPSec VPN up and running between two fresh OpenBSD |
|
installations in about four minutes flat". |
|
If you've shied away from setting up an IPSEC VPN because of config file complexity, |
|
now is the time to reconsider. |
|
Dragos Ruiu shows you how the ipsecctl command (introduced to the world in OpenBSD 3.8) |
|
makes it really easy to set up a VPN between consenting OpenBSD machines. |
|
He states that he and a colleague were able to get two machines talking over IPSEC |
|
in a few minutes, and only changing a few configuration files. |
|
He also comments on the relative ease of installing our favorite OS, and hopes |
|
that our ipsecctl will be adopted by the other BSDs (hopefully in a compatible way) |
|
to make firewall setups easier all around the network. |
|
But you don't need to wait for that if you're running OpenBSD 3.8; just follow |
|
the steps in the article. |
