PPTP

   [top]

GRE Tunnel

   [top]

L2TP

   [top]

Linux

Create an L2TP ethernet pseudowires connection using the Linux kernel's L2TP drivers along with the ip utility.

Note: This setup does not have any security. You will need to route it over IPSEC to create a secure connection.

In this example we use separate systems to establish the tunnels across the Gateway (which represents the Internet).

Topology

L2TP Tunnel Topology
System Network
Gateway eth1: 1.1.1.1/30; eth2: 2.2.2.1.30
Tunnel1 eth1/l2tpeth0 (bridged); eth1: No IP configured; eth2: 1.1.1.2/30
Tunnel2 eth1/l2tpeth0 (bridged); eth1: No IP configured; eth2: 2.2.2.2/30

Configuration

  • Enable IP forwarding on Gateway, Tunnel1 and Tunnel2 systems by running this command on each:
 # echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
  • Establish L3 connectivity between Tunnel1 and Tunnel2 systems:

On Tunnel1 run: 

# ip route add 2.2.2.0/30 via 1.1.1.1

On Tunnel2 run: 

# ip route add 1.1.1.0/30 via 2.2.2.1

Check to make sure both sides can ping each other: 

#tunnel1:~# ping -c1 2.2.2.2

PING 2.2.2.2 (2.2.2.2) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 2.2.2.2: icmp_req=1 ttl=63 time=1.03 ms

#tunnel2:~# ping -c1 1.1.1.2

PING 1.1.1.2 (1.1.1.2) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 1.1.1.2: icmp_req=1 ttl=63 time=1.20 ms
  • Load L2TPv3 ethernet pseudowire module on Tunnel1 and Tunnel2 systems:
# modprobe l2tp_eth
  • Configure l2tp interface on Tunnel1:
# ip l2tp add tunnel tunnel_id 1000 peer_tunnel_id 2000 encap udp local 1.1.1.2 remote 2.2.2.2 udp_sport 6000 udp_dport 5000
# ip l2tp add session tunnel_id 1000 session_id 3000 peer_session_id 4000
  • Check configuration of tunnel on Tunnel1 system:
# ip l2tp show tunnel

Tunnel 1000, encap UDP
  From 1.1.1.2 to 2.2.2.2
  Peer tunnel 2000
  UDP source / dest ports: 6000/5000
  UDP checksum: disabled

# ip l2tp show session

Session 3000 in tunnel 1000
  Peer session 4000, tunnel 2000
  interface name: l2tpeth0
  offset 0, peer offset 0
  • Configure l2tp interface on Tunnel2:
# ip l2tp add tunnel tunnel_id 2000 peer_tunnel_id 1000 encap udp local 2.2.2.2 remote 1.1.1.2 udp_sport 5000 udp_dport 6000
# ip l2tp add session tunnel_id 2000 session_id 4000 peer_session_id 3000
  • Check configuration of tunnel on Tunnel2 system:
# ip l2tp show tunnel

Tunnel 2000, encap UDP
  From 2.2.2.2 to 1.1.1.2
  Peer tunnel 1000
  UDP source / dest ports: 5000/6000
  UDP checksum: disabled

# ip l2tp show session

Session 4000 in tunnel 2000
  Peer session 3000, tunnel 1000
  interface name: l2tpeth0
  offset 0, peer offset 0
  • Check MTU of newly created interfaces
# ip a s dev l2tpeth0

l2tpeth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1488 qdisc noop state DOWN qlen 1000
    link/ether 1a:8f:6e:04:3f:a3 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
  • Adjust MTU and enforce MSS on eth1 on both Tunnel1 and Tunnel2 systems to prevent fragmentation that can cause issues:
# ip link set eth1 mtu 1446
# iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp --tcp-flags SYN,RST SYN -m tcpmss --mss 1406:1536 -j TCPMSS --set-mss 1406
  • Install bridge-utils on Tunnel1 and Tunnel2 systems:
# apt-get install bridge-utils
  • Bridge the L2TP interface to eth1 on both the Tunnel1 and Tunnel2 systems so that is can communicate over the network:
# brctl addbr l2tp
# brctl addif l2tp eth1 l2tpeth0
  • Check bridge configuration on Tunnel1 and Tunnel2 systems:
# brctl show

bridge name	        bridge id	    STP enabled	     interfaces
l2tp		        8000.1a8f6e043fa3   no	             eth1 l2tpeth0
  • Turn up the new l2tpeth0 interface on Tunnel1 and Tunnel2 systems so that it can be used:
# ip l set dev l2tpeth0 up
# ip l set dev l2tp up

Assuming you've done everything correctly here, you should now be able to use the Tunnel1 and Tunnel2 systems to send traffic over the same subnet on each side.

Example:

  • Using the setup above, assume you have two additional systems setup.
    • Computer1 is connected to Tunnel1. No gateway set (not needed for an L2 link).
    • Computer1 has eth1 configured with 192.168.0.3/24
    • Computer2 is connected to Tunnel2. No gateway set (not needed for an L2 link).
    • Computer 2 has eth1 configured wtih 192.168.0.4/24
  • Do a ping test to make sure Computer1 can talk to Computer2 through the l2tp link:
# ping -c5 192.168.0.4

64 bytes from 192.168.0.4: icmp_req=1 ttl=64 time=3.85 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.0.4: icmp_req=2 ttl=64 time=1.93 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.0.4: icmp_req=3 ttl=64 time=1.91 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.0.4: icmp_req=4 ttl=64 time=1.87 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.0.4: icmp_req=5 ttl=64 time=1.89 ms
  • Successful output means that Computer1 can talk to Computer2 over the l2tp link since you're created a L2 link between each system. Both computers act as if they are on the same local network segment, unaware of the L2TP connection over the Gateway via the Tunnels.

The path that data will travel is: 

Computer1 -> Tunnel1 -> Gateway -> Tunnel2 -> Computer2
Computer1 <- Tunnel1 <- Gateway -< Tunnel2 -< Computer2

NOTE: THERE IS NO ENCRYPTION WITH AN L2TP TUNNEL. ALL LAYER 2 DATA THAT IS VISIBLE TO EACH SIDE OF THE TUNNEL WILL NORMALLY BE SENT OVER THE LINK AND BE SEEN BY THE OTHER SIDE.

You can download tinc for *nix and Windows systems from https://www.tinc-vpn.org/[5]

The tinc website includes many examples on common setups. They can be found at https://www.tinc-vpn.org/examples/

Standard tinc setup

Tinc can be setup in a mesh network with multiple systems.

Note: You can setup tinc with just two systems using these instructions and adjusting the steps accordingly.

For this setup we will have three hosts called Server 1, Server 2, and Server 3. The following is a brief synopsis of the network config for each:

Tinc Mesh Network Example

VPN NAME: NoMoreSecrets
SERVER 1: 

   public ip:    1.1.1.100
   vpn ip:       10.0.0.1
   connects to:  server 2, server 3

SERVER 2: 

   public ip:    1.1.2.100
   vpn ip:       10.0.0.2
   connects to:  server 1, server 3

SERVER 3: 

   public ip:    1.1.3.100
   vpn ip:       10.0.0.3
   connects to:  server 1, server 2



The following directory tree will be present on all three hosts for this setup: 

/etc
└── tinc
    └── NoMoreSecrets
        ├── hosts
        │   ├── server1
        │   ├── server2
        │   └── server3
        ├── rsa_key.priv
        ├── tinc.conf
        ├── tinc-down
        └── tinc-up

Individual node setup and configuration

All servers used in this example will be running Ubuntu 18.04.

Server1
  • Install tinc
   apt install tinc -y
  • Create directories
   mkdir -p /etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/hosts/

Create the following files:

  • /etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/hosts/server1:
   Address = 1.1.1.100
   Subnet = 10.0.0.1
  • /etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/tinc.conf:
   Name = server1
   Interface = tun0
   AddressFamily = ipv4
   ConnectTo = server2
   ConnectTo = server3
  • /etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/tinc-up:
   #!/bin/sh
   ip link set $INTERFACE up
   ip addr add 10.0.0.1/32 dev $INTERFACE
   ip route add 10.0.0.0/24 dev $INTERFACE
  • /etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/tinc-down:
   #!/bin/sh
   ip route del 10.0.0.0/24 dev $INTERFACE
   ip addr del 10.0.0.1/32 dev $INTERFACE
   ip link set $INTERFACE down
Server2
  • Install tinc
   apt install tinc -y
  • Create directories
   mkdir -p /etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/hosts/

Create the following files:

  • /etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/hosts/server2:
   Address = 1.1.2.100
   Subnet = 10.0.0.2
  • /etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/tinc.conf:
   Name = server2
   Interface = tun0
   AddressFamily = ipv4
   ConnectTo = server1
   ConnectTo = server3
  • /etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/tinc-up:
   #!/bin/sh
   ip link set $INTERFACE up
   ip addr add 10.0.0.2/32 dev $INTERFACE
   ip route add 10.0.0.0/24 dev $INTERFACE
  • /etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/tinc-down:
   #!/bin/sh
   ip route del 10.0.0.0/24 dev $INTERFACE
   ip addr del 10.0.0.2/32 dev $INTERFACE
   ip link set $INTERFACE down
Server3
  • Install tinc
   apt install tinc -y
  • Create directories
   mkdir -p /etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/hosts/

Create the following files:

  • /etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/hosts/server3:
   Address = 1.1.3.100
   Subnet = 10.0.0.3
  • /etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/tinc.conf:
   Name = server3
   Interface = tun0
   AddressFamily = ipv4
   ConnectTo = server1
   ConnectTo = server2
  • /etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/tinc-up:
   #!/bin/sh
   ip link set $INTERFACE up
   ip addr add 10.0.0.3/32 dev $INTERFACE
   ip route add 10.0.0.0/24 dev $INTERFACE
  • /etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/tinc-down:
   #!/bin/sh
   ip route del 10.0.0.0/24 dev $INTERFACE
   ip addr del 10.0.0.3/32 dev $INTERFACE
   ip link set $INTERFACE down
Create keypair
  • On all servers create public/private keypair with:
   tincd -n NoMoreSecrets -K4096
Synchronize host files
  • Synchronize host files with public keys between all three servers with rsync:
  • From Server1:
   rsync -avz /etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/hosts/ server2:/etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/hosts/
   rsync -avz /etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/hosts/ server3:/etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/hosts/
  • From Server2:
   rsync -avz /etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/hosts/ server1:/etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/hosts/
   rsync -avz /etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/hosts/ server3:/etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/hosts/
  • From Server3:
   rsync -avz /etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/hosts/ server1:/etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/hosts/
   rsync -avz /etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/hosts/ server2:/etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/hosts/
  • On all servers set the executable bit on the tinc-up and tinc-down scripts
   chmod +x /etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/tinc-up
   chmod +x /etc/tinc/NoMoreSecrets/tinc-down
Start tinc
  • On all servers enable and start tinc
   systemctl enable tinc@NoMoreSecrets
   systemctl start tinc@NoMoreSecrets

Once tinc is up and running on all three servers you should be able to communicate over the 10.0.0.0/24 network.

Since this is a mesh network, if direct communication between two nodes drops, tinc will route all traffic through the remaining node until direct communication is restored.

Troubleshooting

  1. Check tinc logs to see what the error shown is. Refer to official documentation at https://www.tinc-vpn.org/docs/
  2. Check firewall on both hosts to make sure port 655 is being accepted.
  3. Check IP on Address line of hosts to ensure they are correct.
  4. Check IP on Subnet line of hosts files to ensure they are correct.

Simplified tinc 1.1 Windows setup

Examples on how to setup tinc 1.1 on Windows as either a server or client.

Server side config

  1. Download tinc
  2. Install tinc
  3. Open command prompt and type the following:
   cd "C:\Program Files\tinc"
   tinc -n vpn init master
   tinc -n vpn add subnet 10.0.1.1
   tinc -n vpn add address=public.domain-or-ip
   cd tap-win64
   addtap.bat
   netsh interface ipv4 show interfaces      (Note disconnected interface.  May be called Ethernet 2)
   netsh interface set interface name = "Ethernet 2" newname = "tinc"
   netsh interface ip set address "tinc" static 10.0.1.1  255.255.255.0
   netsh interface ipv4 show config          (Should create a tinc interface with IP and subnet)
   cd ..

To start tinc: 

   tincd -n vpn

To invite clients: 

   tinc -n vpn invite client1

Client side config

  1. Download tinc
  2. Install tinc
  3. Open command prompt and type the following:
   cd "C:\Program Files\tinc"
   tinc join <invite-url>
   tinc -n vpn add subnet 10.0.1.2
   cd tap-win64
   addtap.bat
   netsh interface ipv4 show interfaces      (Note disconnected interface.  May be called Ethernet 2)
   netsh interface set interface name = "Ethernet 2" newname = "tinc"
   netsh interface ip set address "tinc" static 10.0.1.2  255.255.255.0
   cd ..

To test connection: 

   tincd -n vpn -D -d3

To run tinc as service: 

   tincd -n vpn

Notes

Tinc will automatically register itself as a service when started without -D or --no-detach option.

Calling tinc with -k or --kill option will cause it to automatically unregister itself.

SoftEther

   [top]

SoftEther VPN is an Open-Source Free Cross-platform Multi-protocol VPN Program, that is an academic project from the University of Tsukuba in Japan.

You can download SoftEther for FreeBSD, Linux, Mac, Solaris, and Windows from https://www.softether.org/[6]

Features

  • SSL-VPN tunnelling on HTTPS to pass though NAT and firewalls
  • Revolutionary VPN over ICMP and VPN over DNS featuers
  • Ethernet-bridging (L2) and IP-routing (L3) over VPN.
  • Embedded dynamic-DNS and NAT-traversal
  • SSL-VPN (HTTPS) and support for 6 major VPN protocols: OpenVPN, IPSEC, L2TP, MS-SSTP, L2TPv3, and EtherIP)

Cisco L2TPv3

Use the setup of SoftEther here as a guide for an L2TPv3 connection to a Cisco device.

SoftEther settings

Now make the following adjustments to the IPSEC/L2TPv3 settings shown there:

  • Under IPSEC/L2TP setting select the checkbox for Enable EtherIP/L2TPv3 over IPsec Server Function
  • Select EtherIP / L2TP Detail Settings
  • ISAKMP Phase 1 ID: Specify local IP address of Cisco device here
  • Fill in username/password settings
  • Under Virtual Hub management
  • Select Virtual NAT and virtual DHCP server function
  • Secure NAT settings wtill be used to set Virtual DHCP server settings
Ports used by Softether for this configuration
Type Port #
UDP 500
UDP 4500
UDP 1701
  • Encryption: If you have an issue with using AES during your initial testing, try using DES or 3DES. Once you have the connection established try switching to a more secure algorithm.
Cisco config

And then use the following config below on your Cisco device instead of what is listed on the SoftEther site to get L2TPv3 working:

Information used in this example
Local IP addess Peer IP (SoftEther Public IP) Pre-shared key
192.168.100.100 (ISAKMP Phase 1 ID) 1.1.1.100 CHANGEME
  • Note: By default Cisco may have NAT-Traversal enabled. This settings is not required.
  • Specify the L2TPv3 settings and interface (change FastEterhnet0/0 to match your device's interface).
pseudowire-class L2TPv3
   encapsulation l2tpv3
   ip local interface FastEthernet0/0
  • Note: You can chance the pseudowire-class interface's name from L2TPv3 to something more descriptive if you want.
  • ISAKMP settings:
crypto isakmp policy 1
   encr aes 256
   authentication pre-share
   group 2
crypto isakmp key CHANGEME address 1.1.1.100
crypto isakmp keepalive 10 periodic

Note: You can use AES 256 encryption here. DH group uses type 2 1024 bit encryption.

  • IPSEC settings:
crypto ipsec transform-set IPSEC esp-3des esp-sha-hmac
   mode transport
crypto ipsec fragmentation after-encryption

Note: 3des is being used here in this example. If you put this tunnel into production make sure you change the cipher used to AES!!!

  • Cryptographic map:
crypto map MAP 1 ipsec-isakmp
   set peer 1.1.1.100
   set transform-set IPSEC
   match address IPSEC_MATCH_RULE
  • Interface configuration
interface FastEthernet0/0
   ip address 192.168.100.100 255.255.255.0
   no ip proxy-arp
   duplex auto
   speed auto
   crypto map MAP

Note: FastEthernet0/0 uses the local IP address specified above and has the crypto map applied.

  • Use FastEthernet0/1 as the interface for the tunnel
interface FastEthernet0/1
   no ip address
   duplex auto
   speed auto
   no cdp enable
   xconnect 1.1.1.100 1 encapsulation l2tpv3 pw-class L2TPv3
   bridge-group 1
  • Access list:
ip access-list extended IPSEC_MATCH_RULE
   permit 115 any any
  • Now connect a device to FastEthernet0/1. It should get a DHCP lease from SoftEther and be on the network.
Troubleshooting

To troubleshoot the tunnel use the following commands: 

debug crypt isakmp
debug crypt ipsec
debug l2tp all
  • Show ISAKMP SA status:
#show crypto isakmp sa

Installation

To install VPNC on Debian based distributions: 

   sudo apt-get install vpnc

Configuration

Edit the default config file as follows (substitute your own name if you want to name the connection instead of using default. You will use this name as @<name> when calling vpnc.)

  • Edit /etc/vpnc/default.conf.
   IPSec gateway <VPNC server IP or FQDN>
   IPSec id AMPRNET
   IPSec secret EzAsARDC
   Xauth username YOUR-CALLSIGN
   Xauth password _YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE_

Starting the VPN

Use one fo the following commands to start your VPNC based VPN connection.

  • This command would run VPNC using /etc/vpnc/default.conf, if it exists. If it does not, it would prompt for the connection information:
   sudo vpnc
  • This would run VPNC using /etc/vpnc/external.conf, if it exists.
   sudo vpnc external

Starting at boot

You can start your VPNC based VPN connection at boot using one of the following methods.

/etc/rc.local

This is the simplest way and does not involve creating init scripts or systemd service files.

Add a line such as the following into your /etc/rc.local file: 

  vpnc
systemd

To control from systemd:

  • Edit /usr/lib/systemd/system/vpnc@.service
   [Unit]

The following script can be used to setup a basic firewall on a Linux based system using iptables.

Supports IPv4 and IPv6. Comment out the parts that are not need with a # or optionally delete them.

Note: While this supports IPv6, some of the rules listed were only done for IPv4. You'll need to make the necessary changes to have IPv6 protected as well. While the parameters listed for IPv4 should work you should refer to the ip6tables man page if you have any issues.
