In computing, '''Internet Protocol Security''' ('''IPsec''') is a secure network protocol suite of IPv4 that authenticates and encrypts the packets of data sent over an IPv4 network. IPsec includes protocols for establishing mutual authentication between agents at the beginning of the session and negotiation of cryptographic keys to use during the session. IPsec can protect data flows between a pair of hosts (host-to-host), between a pair of security gateways (network-to-network), or between a security gateway and a host (network-to-host). Internet Protocol security (IPsec) uses cryptographic security services to protect communications over Internet Protocol (IP) networks. IPsec supports network-level peer authentication, data-origin authentication, data integrity, data confidentiality (encryption), and replay protection.

This article provides an extensive configuration example with details on how to create a tunnel connection authenticating with X.509 Certs between two IPsec instances, both of which configured on RUTxxx routers.
 +
 
 +
==Configuration overview and prerequisites==
 +
 
 +
Before we begin, let's overview the configuration that we are attempting to achieve and the prerequisites that make it possible.
 +
 
 +
'''Prerequisites''':
 +
* Two RUTxxx routers of any type
 +
* Both RUTxxx routers must be accessible from each other's WAN connection
 +
* Firmware for the devices must be 00.07.xx.x or above. This is in part to make sure the StrongSwan service is U5.9.6 or >
 +
* An end device (PC, Laptop) for configuration
 +
* (Optional) A second end device to test remote LAN access

Go to [http://tunnelbroker.net tunnelbroker.net] and log into your account. If you don't have a registered account then you will need to create one - click '''register'''.

===IPv6 to IPv4 tunnel setup===

[Image Here showing RUT1 & RUT2 connected via Wan connection]
Setup IPv6 over IPv4, also known as 6in4 IPv6 transition mechanism
+
[RUT1 Wan IP: 192.168.1.3 Lan IP: 192.168.3.1]
 +
[RUT2 Wan IP: 192.168.1.14 Lan IP: 192.168.14.1]
 +
 
 +
The figure above depicts two RUTxxx routers (RUT1 and RUT2) connected by an IPsec tunnel via their WAN interfaces.
 +
 
 +
==Router configuration==
 +
 
 +
We will start our configuration with RUT1.
 +
 
 +
This configuration guide will generate our own CA cert that will be used to self-sign our own keys and local certs for both devices.
 +
 
 +
===Generating Certs===
 +
----
 +
 
 +
 
 +
====Generating CA Cert====
 
----
 
----
   −
To create a new tunnel, click on '''create regular tunnel''' ('''1'''), then '''enter''' your '''public IP''' (it will light up green, if the tunnel can be created with this IP) ('''2'''), '''select''' the desired '''tunnel server''' ('''3''') and '''create tunnel''' ('''4''').
+
First we will generate our CA cert.
 +
 
 +
* Login to the router's WebUI and go to '''System → Administration → Certificates'''.
 +
The following are the settings used for this example, but values should be changed depending on your specific needs:
 +
 
 +
- File Type: '''''CA'''''
 +
 
 +
- Key Size: '''''1024'''''
   −
[[File:Create IPv6 Tunnel.png|border|center|class=tlt-border|854x854px]]
+
- Name (CN): '''''CAIPSec''''' // This can be whatever name you choose.
   −
After successful tunnel creation, you will be prompt to tunnel details window.
+
- Subject Information: '''''Toggled On''''' // It is recommended to fill out at least Country Code, State/Province and Organization Name.
   −
[[File:IPv6 Tunnel created.png|border|center|class=tlt-border|454x454px]]
+
- Country Code (CC): '''''US''''' // Fill your country code
   −
To create a a tunnel instance on your RUT router, '''navigate''' to '''example configurations''' ('''1''') and select '''OpenWRT Barrier Breaker''' ('''2''').
+
- State or Province Name (ST): '''''TX''''' // Fill your State/Province name
   −
[[File:Tunnel interface.png|border|center|class=tlt-border|554x554px]]
+
- Locality Name (L): '''''CAIPSec''''' // Fill your locality name, or at least a recognizable name for your CA
   −
Copy and paste the following commands into your RUT CLI. Do not forget to '''replace''' '''YOUR_TUNNELBORKER_USERNAME''' and '''YOUR_TUNNELBROKER_PASSWORD''' with your '''TunnelBroker account username''' and '''password'''.
+
- Organization Name (O): '''''CAIPSec''''' // Fill your Organization name
   −
==Relayd configuration==
+
- Organizational Unit Name (OU): '''''CAIPSEC''''' // Fill your specific Unit Name
Relay is a daemon (computer program that runs as a background process) used to relay and dynamically redirect incoming connections to a target host. Its main purpose in RUTxxx routers is to extend the wireless network. For example, when RUTxxx is in STA Wireless Station mode, it can be used to bridge WAN and LAN interfaces to create a larger Wireless network.
     −
This article provides an extensive configuration example of a basic Relay usage scenario with two RUTxxx devices.

Next we need to sign the CAIPSec CA. We will be Self-Signing our own CA.
 +
Under the '''Certificate signing''' configure as follows:
 +
 
 +
- Signed Certificate Name: '''''CAIPSec'''''
 +
 
 +
- Type of Certificate to Sign: '''''Certificate Authority'''''
 +
 
 +
- Certificate Request File: '''''CAIPSec.req.pem'''''
 +
 
 +
- Days Valid: '''''3650''''' // For this example we will use 3650 days, but you can configure this to be longer if needed. I would caution against too long of a CA.
 +
 
 +
- Certificate Authority Key: '''''CAIPSec.key.pem'''''
 +
 
 +
- Leave the rest of the configuration default

====Generating Rut2 Client Cert====
 +
----
 +
 
 +
We will still generate RUT2 certs on the RUT1 device, so that we can sign our certs with the CA created earlier.
 +
Later we will download the certs required for RUT2 and import them there.

===RUT1 to RUT2 Test===
 +
----
 +
 
 +
Here we will check via SSH on both RUT1 & RUT2 devices that the IPsec tunnel has been established.
 +
That each RUT device can ping the other's LAN IP. In this case 192.168.3.1 for RUT1 & 192.168.14.1 for RUT2.
 +
And that LAN device on RUT1 can ping LAN device on RUT2.
 +
 +
* First make sure each device has been rebooted at least once after you have finished configuring the previous steps.
 +
* SSH into RUT1 device
 +
* '''''ipsec statusall''''' // This should show 2 up with Security Associations and that the connection should be up for some minutes. You should also see the Cert info from the certs we created earlier.
 +
<br>
 +
 
 +
[[File:RUT1 IPSec Status.png|frame|none]]

* SSH into RUT1 device
 +
* '''''opkg update'''''
 +
* '''''opkg install tcpdump'''''
 +
* '''''tcpdump -i any -w Checking_For_ESP_Packets.pcap'''''
 +
* SSH into RUT2 device
 +
* On RUT2 ping the LAN ip for RUT1 and leave that running. In our example that would be `ping 192.168.3.1`
 +
* On RUT1 wait 10 seconds then CTRL+C to stop the program
 +
* Then use a program like WinSCP to download '''Checking_For_ESP_Packets.pcap''' from RUT1
 +
* Open the file in a program called Wireshark and filter for encrypted ESP packets with this '''_ws.col.protocol == "ESP"'''. You should see ESP packets from both the WAN IPs. You shouldn't be able to see inside the packet because it is now encrypted, but if we decrypted the packets we would see the ICMP packets between the 2 RUT devices.
