Heads up! This post was written 19 years ago.

I recently created a new Public GnuPG key.

Draytek Vigor2200 <-> FreeS/WAN HOWTO

Heads up! This post was written 20 years ago.

v1.00 2002/01/24 - first
v1.01 2002/03/06 - latest firmware supports PFS and fixes accidental
v1.02 2002/08/16 - make sure to use the scheduler in lan-lan profile pass-through of IKE packets when DMZ is used

Situation

We have a large network 10.2.0.0/16 with a FreeS/WAN Linux box on internal IP 10.2.0.1 and external (public internet) IP 123.123.123.123
We also have a small network 192.168.1.0/24 with a Vigor2200 on internal IP 192.168.1.1 and external (public internet) IP 222.222.222.222
Our setup will automatically create a link between the two networks as soon as any machine on the smaller (connected to the vigor) network tries to access the larger (connected to the linux box) network.

Assumptions

You have succesfully installed FreeS/WAN (For installing FreeS/WAN see http://www.freeswan.org/)
Your Vigor2200 is up and running
vm will be the IPSec box
vigor will be the Vigor2200

Instructions

First, create a PSK (pre-shared key) using the ipsec ranbits command:

vm:~# ipsec ranbits --continuous 128 
0x6672dd8b3f15227556b606f9f624c3da
vm:~#

Access the Vigor2200 through it's web interface. Go through the screens mentioned below and configure accordingly. You must of course replace the secret key with your own one created above.

This screen is pretty straight forward. We configure the pre-shared key and tell the Vigor to both authenticate and encrypt using 3DES.

Vigor IKE/IPSec Setup

Dial-in Set up
IKE Authentication method
Pre-Shared Key: 0x6672dd8b3f15227556b606f9f624c3da
Re-type Pre-Shared Key: 0x6672dd8b3f15227556b606f9f624c3da
IPSec Security Method
Select High(ESP) and 3DES

Dial-out
IKE Authentication method
Pre-Shared Key: 0x6672dd8b3f15227556b606f9f624c3da
Re-type Pre-Shared Key: 0x6672dd8b3f15227556b606f9f624c3da

This is a screen has a lot of things, but most things on the right (except for dial direction and idle-timeout) can be ignored because they apply only to ISDN usage.

LAN-to-LAN Dialer Profile Setup

Common Setup
Profile Name: ipsecvm
Select Enable this profile
Call Direction: select Both
Idle Timeout: 900

Dial-Out Settings
Username: leave empty, or leave ???
Password: leave empty
Server IP: 123.123.123.123
Type of Server I am Calling: select IPSec Tunnel
Select High(ESP) and 3DES with Authentication

Scheduler(1-15): 1 (or whatever number you give your schedule
profile)

Dial-In Settings
Username: leave empty, or leave ???
Password: leave empty
Select Enable CLID
Peer VPN Server IP: 123.123.123.123
Allowed Dial-In Type: Select IPSec Tunnel

TCP/IP Network Settings
My WAN IP: 0.0.0.0
Remote Gateway: 123.123.123.123
Remote Network: 10.2.0.0
Remote Netmask: 255.255.0.0

For NAT operation, treat remote sub-net as: Private IP

This screen enables the auto-dial function. It's not necessary (you can start the connection on either side manually), but it is very convienient ;-)

Call Schedule Setup

Select Enable Schedule Setup
Start Date: 2000-1-1
Start Time: 0:0
Duration: 23:59
Action: select enable dial-on-demand
Idle Timeout: 0
How Often: select weekdays and sun, mon, etc

FreeS/WAN

Now we go setup the FreeS/WAN config files.

leftnexthop is usually the default gateway on the linux box. rightnexthop is usually the default gateway for the vigor.

# /etc/ipsec.conf - FreeS/WAN IPsec configuration file

config setup
        interfaces="ipsec0=eth0"
        klipsdebug=none
        plutodebug=none
        plutoload=%search
        plutostart=%search
        plutowait=no
        uniqueids=yes

conn %default
        keyingtries=3
        keylife=3600s
        ikelifetime=480m
        authby=secret
        auth=esp
        keyexchange=ike
        pfs=yes

conn peen
        esp=3des-md5-96
        left=123.123.123.123
        leftsubnet=10.2.0.0/16
        leftnexthop=123.123.123.1
        right=222.222.222.222
        rightsubnet=192.168.1.0/24
        rightnexthop=222.222.222.1
        auto=add

Below of course again replace the secret key with the one you generated earlier.

# /etc/ipsec.secrets

123.123.123.123 222.222.222.222 : PSK "0x6672dd8b3f15227556b606f9f624c3da"

Some additional hints:

The Vigor2200 supports IPSec only if the firmware is 2.00 of later.
The keylife and ikelifetime above match those of the Vigor. If you use different values, results are unpredictable.
