IPSec en OpenWrt
IPSec (Internet Protocol Security), es un conjunto de protocolos cuya función es asegurar las comunicaciones sobre el protocolo IP, autenticando y/o cifrando cada paquete IP en un flujo de datos.
Plain IPSec
Esta configuración asume un router OpenWRT con conexión a Internet y con IP dinámica, conectando a un sitio central con una dirección IP fija. El objetivo es la creación de IPSEC entre los dos sitios para la red local y / o Wi-Fi conectado al router OpenWRT, que puede hablar a la LAN conectada a la central de gateway IPSEC. Para la configuración de ejemplo se supone la siguiente configuración:
central site IP address 1.2.3.4
central site LAN 192.168.2.0/24
central site name central.site.vpn
road warrior LAN 192.168.1.0/24
road warrior email road@warrior.vpn
Optionally devide wireless from wired network
If LAN and WIFI should be handled differently by the central site, it makes sense to seperate them and use two differnet IPSEC tunnels. Install openswan
ipkg install openswan kmod-openswan ntpclient
Configuration
In this example, a configuration using a X.509 PKI is being used. Shared key is not really useful for road warrior setups, as it would require all road warriors to use the same shared key. Create CA and certificates for all gateways
In this example, the hostname is used as common name for the central station and the email address for the road warrior. Some hints on how to use openssl to manage a PKI can be found at http://www.natecarlson.com/linux/ipsec-x509.php or http://freifunk.net/wiki/X509
On the OpenWRT box, copy the CA certificate to /etc/ipsec.d/cacerts/cacert.pem, the road warrior certificate to /etc/ipsec.d/certs/roadwarrior.pem and the private key to /etc/ipsec.d/private/roadwarriorkey.pem Create /etc/ipsec.conf
Un ejemplo de configuración es:
version 2.0 # conforms to second version of ipsec.conf specification
- basic configuration
config setup
# plutodebug / klipsdebug = "all", "none" or a combation from below:
# "raw crypt parsing emitting control klips pfkey natt x509 private"
# eg:
plutodebug="none"
klipsdebug="none"
#
# Only enable klipsdebug=all if you are a developer

- Disable Opportunistic Encryption
include /etc/ipsec.d/examples/no_oe.conf
Create /etc/ipsec.secrets
This file contains the name of the private key file and the passphrase needed to open the file:
- RSA roadwarriorkey.pem "passphrase"
Permissions
Make sure the permissions of /etc/ipsec.secrets and /etc/ipsec.d/private/* allow read access only to root (chmod 400). Hotplug
Configure the hotplug system to start and stop OpenSWAN each time the DSL connection is cut off by the provider:
/etc/hotplug.d/iface/30-ipsec
- !/bin/sh
if [ "$PROTO" != "ppp" ]; then exit; fi
USER=root export USER
case "$ACTION" in
ifup)
/etc/rc.d/init.d/ipsec start
;;
ifdown)
/etc/rc.d/init.d/ipsec stop
;;
esac
Firewall
Make sure to open your firewall for ESP and ISAKMP traffic (and maybe NAT-T if your setup requires nat-traversal) and disable NAT for the LAN of the central site:
Example /etc/firewall.user:
iptables -A input_rule -p esp -s 1.2.3.4 -j ACCEPT # allow IPSEC
iptables -A input_rule -p udp -s 1.2.3.4 --dport 500 -j ACCEPT # allow ISAKMP
iptables -A input_rule -p udp -s 1.2.3.4 --dport 4500 -j ACCEPT # allow NAT-T
iptables -t nat -A postrouting_rule -d 192.168.2.0/24 -j ACCEPT
- Allow any traffic between road warrior LAN and central LAN
- iptables -A forwarding_rule -i $LAN -o ipsec0 -j ACCEPT
- iptables -A forwarding_rule -i ipsec0 -o $LAN -j ACCEPT
Bugfix (for RC4)
As of Whiterussian RC4, to fix a bug replace /etc/hotplug.d/iface/10-ntpclient by https://dev.openwrt.org/file/trunk/openwrt/package/ntpclient/files/ntpclient.init. Startup files
Optionally remove /etc/init.d/60ipsec, as this script is not really needed in this setup. Speed
Depending on the encryption (esp=) the following transfer rates might be achieved:
aes-sha1 160kb/s
3des-sha1 230kb/s
des-sha1 260kb/s
