install-libreswan-ipsec-vpn-regional-vpc-tunnel-on-aws-ec2_aws_linux_ami_201409
#!/bin/sh
#
# Shell script for installation and setup of L2TP/IPsec VPN tunnel in site-to-site
# mode (e.g. connecting two inter-regional VPCs). VPN software is libreswan.
#
# This should work on linux systems that are RHEL based.
#
# To install directly from this gist, you can curl the "raw" version and pipe that to
# "bash -s" while also defining the environment variables:
#
# curl -s https://gist.githubusercontent.com/rogerbush8/.../raw/.../...whatever... |
# PSK="a secret" EIP1=10... SUBNET1=10.../16 EIP2=10... SUBNET2=10.../16 bash -s
#
# This script should be run on two different instances (right, left) which are the ends of
# the tunnel gateway, by flipping the values on EIP1 VPC1, and EIP2 VPC2 on the other machine.
#
# Helpful debugging (server-side):
#
# $ /etc/init.d/ipsec restart
# $ tail -f /var/log/secure : see messages on restart
# $ tail -f /var/log/messages :
# $ ipsec version : printout version info
# $ ipsec verify : check config and kernel properties
#
# Helpful debugging (server-side):
#
# $ route -n some_ip : shows gateway for some_ip (for IPs on private, should be VPN IP)
# $ nslookup some_ip : should work for private IPs if DNS is right and Route 53 private hosted zone setup.
# $ netstat -nr : shows all the routes.
# $ ping some_ip : N.B. you must enable ICMP traffic on your private network.
