Re: [Astlinux-users] Creating a loopback address on Astlinux

[Michael K. <li...@mk...>]

Hi Michael,

I have a customer that connects his company to his home (AVM Fritzbox router). You don't need another interface.
Here is the relevant part of the config (both sides have DynDNS):

----
ipsec.conf:

conn customer-home
	left=customername.dyndns.com     # local Astlinux DNS
	leftsubnet=192.168.2.0/24              # customer Astlinux LAN
	leftid=@customername.dyndns.com
	right=customer-home.dyndns.com # remote DNS
	rightid=@customer-home.dyndns.com
	rightsubnet=192.168.1.0/24.          # remote (home) LAN
--

ipsec.secrets - strongSwan IPsec secrets file

@customername.dyndns.com @customer-home.dyndns.com       : PSK "+xyz123"
