I am new to Shorewall and FreeSwan, please excuse my ignorance I was wondering if someone could help me. I had help getting my FreeSwan running with the following iptables commands: iptables -I FORWARD -s 0/0 -d 192.168.1.0/24 -i ipsec0 -o eth1 -j ACCEPT iptables -I FORWARD -s 192.168.1.0/24 -d 0/0 -i eth1 -o ipsec0 -j ACCEPT If I manually run this FreeSwan works, however I am not sure

Hi all! I have got a vpn connection set up using FreeSwan and shorewall. Everything works fine but I want to add another subnet to the whole. This means that 1 box will get two net-to-net connections. I want to limit the services on one subnet however. Cuurently I have defined a vpn zone for the current connection and allow all vpn<->loc traffic. How would I go about in tightening the

This is an idea from FreeSWAN, which was implemented in the recently released version 1.0. Basically the idea is that FreeSWAN sites automatically encrypt traffic between them when possible, without having to set up the link ahead of time. How this works is: The sites publish some info in DNS. FreeSWAN gets some traffic destined for that site. - looks up the info in DNS - if the info is there:

Hi list, I am trying to create a VPN between two different locations. On the first location we have a cisco pix 525 Natting the internal 192.168.100.x network, while on the second location we have a Centos3 box Natting via iptables the internal 192.168.10.x netowrk. My goal is to connect this 2 over the internet via IPsec. I created the IPsec Net2Net via the network configuration graphic

I am trying to run asterisk on Trustix 2.1 w/updates. Has anyone had any troubles related to zaptel hardware like sporadic errors when trying to dial out? Also, what is the consensus for the best Linux distribution to run asterisk on? Trustix seems like a nice choice but I would like to hear the recommendations. Thank you for your help. Bryan

I''m getting insane here. I''m running shorewall 1.3.11 with iptables 1.2.5 and freeswan 1.97 on a 2.4.18-8 kernel aka MNF. The setup is a followed: Lan (192.168.1.x) - FW (eth1 192.168.1.254 - eth0 64.x.y.71) - router 64.x.y.65 (which is default GW on eth0) -internet - 161.a.b.c (FW-1) So a windows client with checkpoint tries to connect to a vpn-1 server on the internet. The

Hello, I seem to have the Freeswan IPSEC tunnel working between my two sites, but I am still having a problem that looks to be because of something I have configured wrong in my shorewall setup.. I have a LEAF Oxygen < 1.9 heavily modifed firewall setup.. Using FreeSwan 1.91, and Kernel 2.4.8. Modified to use IPTables and standard Debian network/interfaces. I am also using Shorewall

IF you are not stuck to IPSec, you might want to take a look at OpenVPN (www.openvpn.org). I found OpenVPN easier to install than FreeSWAN (an IPSEC VPN) and have setup an OpenVPN solution between my German office and our mainoffice in a matter of hours.

I have been using shorewall and freeswan successfully for 3 or more years now. But they have all been using the Linux 2.4 kernel. My current configuration is (as the title suggests) using SuSE 9.1 which has a 2.6.5 kernel and freeswan 2.0.4 built-in. After much reading and a lot of trial and error, I did get this combination to work with Shorewall 2.0.9. It is happily talking to an older Mandrake

Hi. I am trying to force some traffic that goes to address 203.7.93.94 through a VPN tunnel. I use freeswan 1.98b and Shorewall 1.4.6c in one machine. The 203.7.93.94 is in the DMZ on the other end. (Both ends use the same shorewall and freeswan). I have successfully set up a tunnel between the two network (using a point to point topology, not hub). I added a static routing that redirect

Hello, I have setup a samba server at my office as a PDC it stores the profiles on the server fine. I can access the profiles from any computer in the office just fine. My problem is that I work from home 4 days a week and need to access my work profile. I currently VPN into the office network via freeswan. I can log into the the domain from the vpn'd connection and I can access the samba

Hello all, I am configuring a vpn between freeswan and windows 2000. I am following the steps at http://www.jacco2.dds.nl/networking/win2000xp-freeswan.html, to get the VPN up and running. using this I have a ppp tunnel between windows and linux, which is inside a l2tp tunnel which is again encrypted by IPSec. (the url gives the configuration in detail and I have followed it exactly) Now the

Hello, I''ve finally managed to setup a firewall with freeswan 2.04 using the kernel crypto api (backported from kernel 2.6). (Almost) everything seems to work fine if I disable shorewall, but packets are filtered whe shorewall is active. I''ve already read a past thread on the subject and I followed all the hints and it actually partially works: my lan I can access the remote

Hi, On my network, I use real IP numbers for all of my hosts. They all get nat''d at the gateway. I use real IPs because sometimes someone needs to connect directly to a host behind the firewall. With my old firewall, I had a trusted-hosts file with trusted host IP numbers in it. My hosts talking to external trusted hosts would not have their IPs nat''d instead they were

Hi All, I need to configure a VPN between a FreeBSD-4.8 box and a Linux (FreeS/WAN) box. In the Linux side, the network administrator installed FreeS/WAN with RSA authentication without IKE support. Does anybody knows if is possible to make my FreeBSD box connect a VPN with the Linux box? If so, could point me to a documentation about how to install IPSec with RSA authentication and how to make

Hello all together, I've got here a very strange problem. I've set up a vpn with freeswan between two subnets over the internet. Now I can ping from behind to behind. With Windows 98 I can search a computer which is in the other subnet and find the the computer. But...only the other computer is NOT a samba server. Means a w2k or w98 is ok. If I'm looking for the samba in the other

Hi, Does anyone have experience using IPSEC on CentOS in order to connect to vendor IPSEC-based VPN products (specifically Checkpoint FW1) ? Is the included IPSEC implementation sufficient, or do people have to rely on OpenSWAN or FreeSWAN ? I'd be testing tomorrow and I'm interested with experiences others have had and things to look out for. Thanks in advance, -- dag wieers, dag
