Step 2 - Configure L2TP. Now we can configure the VPN! L2TP allows you to tunnel between two endpoints. It doesn’t provide encryption on its own, but is usually combined with IPSec for security. We need to add a profile and then a secret.Profiles let you define behaviour for many connections, and then you can override some settings at the individual login level (secret).
Contents.SummarySub-menu: /ip ipsecPackage required: securityInternet Protocol Security (IPsec) is a set of protocols defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to secure packet exchange over unprotected IP/IPv6 networks such as Internet.IPsec protocol suite can be divided in following groups:. Internet Key Exchange (IKE) protocols.
Dynamically generates and distributes cryptographic keys for AH and ESP. Authentication Header (AH) RFC 4302. Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) RFC 4303Internet Key Exchange Protocol (IKE)The Internet Key Exchange (IKE) is a protocol that provides authenticated keying material for Internet Security Association and Key Management Protocol (ISAKMP) framework.
There are other key exchange schemes that work with ISAKMP, but IKE is the most widely used one. Together they provide means for authentication of hosts and automatic management of security associations (SA).Most of the time IKE daemon is doing nothing. There are two possible situations when it is activated:There is some traffic caught by a policy rule which needs to become encrypted or authenticated, but the policy doesn't have any SAs. The policy notifies IKE daemon about that, and IKE daemon initiates connection to remote host.IKE daemon responds to remote connection.In both cases, peers establish connection and execute 2 phases:. Phase 1 - The peers agree upon algorithms they will use in the following IKE messages and authenticate.
The keying material used to derive keys for all SAs and to protect following ISAKMP exchanges between hosts is generated also. This phase should match following settings:. authentication method. DH group. encryption algorithm.
exchange mode. hash alorithm. NAT-T. DPD and lifetime (optional). Phase 2 - The peers establish one or more SAs that will be used by IPsec to encrypt data. All SAs established by IKE daemon will have lifetime values (either limiting time, after which SA will become invalid, or amount of data that can be encrypted by this SA, or both). This phase should match following settings:.
Ipsec protocol. mode (tunnel or transport). authentication method. PFS (DH) group.
lifetime. Warning: PSK authentication was known to be vulnerable against Offline attacks in 'aggressive' mode, however recent discoveries indicate that offline attack is possible also in case of 'main' and 'ike2' exchange modes. General recommendation is to avoid using PSK authentication method.IKE can optionally provide a Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS), which is a property of key exchanges, that, in turn, means for IKE that compromising the long term phase 1 key will not allow to easily gain access to all IPsec data that is protected by SAs established through this phase 1. It means an additional keying material is generated for each phase 2.Generation of keying material is computationally very expensive. Exempli gratia, the use of modp8192 group can take several seconds even on very fast computer. It usually takes place once per phase 1 exchange, which happens only once between any host pair and then is kept for long time. PFS adds this expensive operation also to each phase 2 exchange.Diffie-Hellman GroupsDiffie-Hellman (DH) key exchange protocol allows two parties without any initial shared secret to create one securely.
Warning: Ipsec is very sensitive to time changes. Note:All packets are IPIP encapsulated in tunnel mode, and their new IP header's src-address and dst-address are set to sa-src-address and sa-dst-address values of this policy. If you do not use tunnel mode (id est you use transport mode), then only packets whose source and destination addresses are the same as sa-src-address and sa-dst-address can be processed by this policy. Transport mode can only work with packets that originate at and are destined for IPsec peers (hosts that established security associations). To encrypt traffic between networks (or a network and a host) you have to use tunnel mode.StatisticsSub-menu: /ip ipsec statisticsThis menu shows various IPsec statistics and errors.Read only properties PropertyDescriptionin-errors ( integer)All inbound errors that are not matched by other counters.in-buffer-errors ( integer)No free buffer.in-header-errors ( integer)Header error.in-no-states ( integer)No state is found i.e. Note: On server side it is mandatory to set passive to yes when XAuth is used.Allow only IPsec encapsulated trafficThere are some scenarios where for security reasons you would like to drop access from/to specific networks if incoming/outgoing packets are not encrypted.
