IPsec L2TP VPN Auto Install Script for Ubuntu 14.04 & 12.04 and Debian 8

IPsec/L2TP VPN Auto Install Script for Ubuntu/Debian

Amazon EC2 user-data file for automatic configuration of IPsec/L2TP VPN server on a Ubuntu or Debian instance. Tested with Ubuntu 14.04 & 12.04 and Debian 8 (Jessie).

With minor modifications, this script can also be used on dedicated servers or any KVM- or XEN- based Virtual Private Server (VPS) from other providers.

Alternative VPN script for CentOS/RHEL
