IPSec gateway This lets you put any kind of weird character except CR, LF and NUL in your strings, but it does mean you can't add comments after a string, or spaces before them. It may be easier to use the --print-config option to generate the config file, and then delete any lines like a password that you want to be prompted for. If you don't know the Group ID and Secret string, ask your administrator.
If you have a working configuration file. You need to do this yourself, or use --script "Script" in the config file. This option is passed to system , so you can use any shell-specials you like. Below is a relatively straight forward explanation from the kernel configuration dialog:.
If it is disabled in the setup, enable it in the kernel of choice, rebuild, install, reboot and return to this document before continuing with the next steps. Now that the tun module is loaded, check dmesg output. Something like the following should show up:. Make sure to check the supported USE flag combinations and see if they apply to the environment. When encountering a problem later with the following error, enable the hybrid-auth USE flag:.
In order to make the following sections more clear, we need an example setup to work from. For the purpose of this exercise, we will assume that the home network consists out of several computers. All computers are on the Now that vpnc is installed and we have an example to work from, let's discuss the basics of setting up vpnc.
The configuration file for vpnc connection settings can be located in a couple places, depending on how many profiles need to be configured. The configuration file example above should be modified to reflect the appropriate values for the local setup. The gateway option vpngateway. The ID and secret options should be given by a network administrator. If this information cannot be obtained but a working setup on a Windows box is available which utilizes the official Cisco VPN client, then it suffices to export the profile.
The user name and password options are for the normal network sign-on, such as a Windows NT domain account. When the profile is exported from a Windows machine, then the result is most likely a file ending in. This file will have all the necessary information. Below is an example:. The Username and UserPassword may or may not be exported depending on the setup. To generate a working vpnc configuration out of it, use pcf2vpnc , included with vpnc.
Now that a configuration is in place it is time to test the setup. To start vpnc do the following:. The above command output shows that, once vpnc as root is executed, a prompt comes up asking for a password. After entering the password which will not be echoed to the terminal , the vpnc process will automatically become a background process. As can be seen from the above command output s , vpnc has done the following:.
At this point, the workstation is capable of communicating with hosts via the VPN. Because vpnc sets the default route to the VPN gateway, all network traffic will travel across the VPN, even if it destined for the Internet or elsewhere not specifically specified by additional routes. For some, this basic type of connection may be satisfactory, but for most, additional steps need to be taken.
To end the VPN session, execute vpnc-disconnect. An example is shown below. Proceed to step 5. If you want to split traffic between your VPN interface and the internet, please create a script as follows:. Like Liked by 1 person. Like Like.
