Connecting and Disconnecting a VPNĬonnecting a specific VPN is a single command away. You can verify the file permissions by running ls -la *.conf. Use chown root *.conf to set the configuration files to all be owned by root and chmod go-rw *.conf to remove permissions from group and other. local port 0 As this file contains your credentials in cleartext, it's important to make sure that it's only readable by the root user. # IKE Authmode hybrid IKE Authmode psk Xauth username der Xauth password my-really-super-secret-password # By specifying local port as 0, we use a random source port for each # VPN connection, allowing multiple VPNs to be run at once. Here's an example of what a vpnc configuration might look like after being set up: IPSec gateway 123.234.123 IPSec ID lullavpn IPSec secret my-super-secret-shared-key # This VPN uses just a pre-shared key and no certificate, so set IKE # Authmode to "psk". If you want to be asked for your password each time you connect, comment out or remove the "Xauth password" line. The default configuration file should contain something like this: IPSec gateway IPSec ID IPSec secret IKE Authmode hybrid Xauth username Xauth password Fill in each line of information as needed for your VPN. Edit the new file in the text editor of your choice. Start by copying /etc/vpnc/nf ( /opt/local/etc/vpnc/nf if vpnc was installed with MacPorts) to a file for your specific VPN, such as "nf".
Once vpnc is installed, we need to create a configuration file for each VPN we'll be connecting to. Sudo port install vpnc +hybrid_cert Configuring vpnc # apt-get install vpnc OS X with MacPorts Here are a few examples: Red Hat / CentOSįor Ubuntu you should prefix the command with "sudo" to execute it as root.
Installing vpncįirst, we need to install the vpnc client using the package manager for our operating system. With it, you can quickly and easily establish a VPN connection, bypassing the GUI entirely. The command-line VPN client vpnc is a great solution to both problems. In addition, it's often useful to connect remote servers to a VPN since they rarely have a GUI installed, the familiar VPN connection tools are missing. However, the GUI software for connecting to a VPN can sometimes be buggy or difficult to use. VPN clients are built into most desktop operating systems, making manual connections relatively simple. For the remote developers, on the other hand, things aren't always so smooth. This allows machines in far-flung locations to operate as if they're on the same controlled network, making security and management much easier for the network administrators. In many enterprises, Cisco VPNs are used to give remote developers controlled access to production web servers.
