===SME Server firewall configuration===
 
−
Since Openswan/ipsec is all about security and private connections, the SME Server firewall rules play a crucial part of a correct configuration.

−
We need a new template fragment to allow ipsec through the firewall

−
nano -w /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/rc.d/init.d/masq/15AllowIPsec

Add the following code :

# IPsec ports

/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i $OUTERIF -p udp --sport 500 --dport 500 -j ACCEPT
 
−
/sbin/iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -i $OUTERIF -p 50 -j MARK --set-mark 1

We also need to disable redirects.

{{Note box | The below script will work for SME8 but NOT necessarily for SME9! Since in SME9 the NIC's have no longer fixed names like eth0 and eth1. We need to come up with an auto detect scipt.

{{Note box|Experimental code to disable redirects for both SME8 and SME9}}
 
−
This is experimental. Please provide your feedback in the forums.
 
−
 
−
To disable redirects (port forwarding) within the IPsec tnnels, we have to create a custom template that will disable these at boot time. To create the custom template execute the following commands as root (simplefied):
 
−
mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates/templates-custom/etc/sysctl.conf
 
−
nano -w /etc/e-smith/templates/templates-custom/etc/sysctl.conf/net.ipv4.ip_deny_redirects
 
−
Then copy the below contents so you can paste them into the above custom template:
 
−
# SME Server Openswan specifics
 
−
# Send redirects, No!
 
−
net.ipv4.conf.all.send_redirects = 0
 
−
net.ipv4.conf.default.send_redirects = 0
 
−
# Accept packets with SRR option? No!
 
−
net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_source_route = 0
 
−
# Accept Redirects? No!
 
−
net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_redirects = 0
 
−
net.ipv4.conf.all.secure_redirects = 0
 
−
Now we need to expand the newly created custome template:
 
−
expand-template /etc/sysctl.conf
 
−
and make them effective:
 
−
sysctl -p
 
−
Another way to disable/enable redirects on all interfaces on the fly from the console as root would be:
 
−
for f in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/send_redirects; do echo 0 > $f; done
 
−
for f in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/accept_redirects; do echo 0 > $f; done
 
−
for f in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/secure_redirects; do echo 0 > $f; done
 
−
(these last commands will work for sure on both SME8 and SME9, but that's not the sustainable SME Server way that will stick on reboots, updates and upgrades.)

About

Openswan.jpg

Openswan is a free implementation of IPsec& IKE for Linux. IPsec is the Internet Protocol Security and uses strong cryptography to provide both authentication and encryption services. These services allow you to build secure tunnels through untrusted networks. Everything passing through the untrusted net is encrypted by the ipsec gateway machine and decrypted by the gateway at the other end of the tunnel.The resulting tunnel is a virtual private network or VPN.

Libreswan is a free software implementation of the most widely supported and standarized VPN protocol based on ("IPsec") and the Internet Key Exchange ("IKE"). These standards are produced and maintained by the Internet Engineering Task Force ("IETF").

Note that Libreswan will become the default ipsec installation from CentOS 6.8

  • Discuss: This How-to can be discussed on the forums here


For v9 you can simply install as follows

yum --enablerepo=smecontribs,epel install smeserver-libreswan

Configuration options and notes are here (check the latest branch):

https://github.com/reetp/smeserver-libreswan


For v8 you will additionally need the ReetP repo to install openswan

yum --enablerepo=smecontribs,epel,reetp install smeserver-openswan

Configuration options and notes are here (check the latest branch):

https://github.com/reetp/smeserver-openswan

Installation

[edit]

For SME Server 8, at least openswan-2.6.38-1.x86_64.rpm is required. However, this version is not to be found in the default repo's, nor any of the additional repo's. A trusted copy of Openswan for SME8 can be found here. (This is only for 64bit systems!)

After you have downloaded the above file, you can install it by issuing the following command: 

yum localinstall openswan-2.6.38-1.x86_64.rpm

For SME Server 9, the Openswan can be found in the default repo's, so to install Openswan on SME Server 9, simply enter the following command: 

yum install openswan

IPSEC server to server configuration

Openswan/IPSEC can be used to setup a secue and permanent VPN connection between a SME Server and another (local or remote) IPSEC enabled device such as a router.

Here is an example:


On the online VPS it has a 'dummy' internal network adaptor but works fine with this.

Here is a sample of my /etc/ipsec.conf with some added notes.

LEFT side is your server. RIGHT side is your router. 

# /etc/ipsec.conf
# basic configuration
#auto = 'start' for both ways or 'add' for incoming only

version 2.0 config setup 

# Debug-logging controls:  "none" for (almost) none, "all" for lots.
#klipsdebug=none
plutodebug=none
interfaces=%defaultroute
oe=no
protostack=netkey
syslog=syslog.debug
# syslog=syslog.warning
virtual_private=%v4:192.168.0.0/24,   # Here you add the local/internal network of your server
nat_traversal=yes   # if required - probably yes
# Connection settings
# Router to Server
conn draytek-wan1 # Your connection name
type=tunnel
authby=secret
auto=start   # n.b. "auto = start" for ipsec to try and make a connection or "auto = add" to accept incoming
ikelifetime=28800s
keylife=3600s
left=%defaultroute
leftsourceip=192.168.98.1  # This is the IP address of your internal ethernet connection on your server
leftsubnet=192.168.98.0/24 # This is your local network on your server
pfs=yes  # If require
dpdaction=restart
dpddelay=30
dpdtimeout=10
right=1.2.3.4  # This is the WAN IP address of your router that is connecting in
rightsubnet=192.168.0.0/24	# This is the local network behind the router at the far end
# More incoming connections here

Passwords

It is recommended to create a very strong random password and keep this safe. One way of generating and store a random strong password is explained here

The following file needs to be looked after and should be set chmod 0600 

# /etc/ipsec.secrets
# Format is 
# Incoming_IP Local_IP: PSK "Your#Strong#Password"
1.2.3.4 %any: PSK "Your#Strong#Password"
host.dnsalias.org %any: PSK "Your#Strong#Password"
1.2.3.4 192.168.98.1: PSK "Your#Strong#Password"
%any 192.168.98.1: PSK "Your#Strong#Password"


Verifying configuration

To verify your configuration give the following command: 

ipsec verify

A reboot should get everything going.


Now set up your router. Create a new IPSEC VPN connection with the correct credentials and it should connect up.

Check /var/log/secure for debug messages, and once you are happy, change the debug settings in ipsec.conf from debug to warning.

If you need more debugging you can set plutodebug = all
