====OpenVPN Server Brute-force Prevention==== | |||
---- | |||
OpenVPN Servers with <b>Authentication</b> set to <b>TLS/Password</b> or <b>Password</b>, <b>Protocol</b> set to <b>UDP</b> and running on <b>Port 1194</b> have a feature where after a client attempts to connect to the server 10 times with incorrect credentials (password and/or username) they are then blocked from the server. | |||
To check which addresses are blocked one first needs to connect to their device's [[Command_Line_Interfaces_RutOS|CLI]]. | |||
After connecting to your device's CLI use the command <b>ipset list</b> and find the section named <b>ipb_port</b>. There under <b>Members</b> you should see all IP addresses that are blocked. | |||
<pre> | |||
Name: ipb_port | |||
Type: hash:ip,port | |||
Revision: 5 | |||
Header: family inet hashsize 1024 maxelem 65536 | |||
Size in memory: 164 | |||
References: 2 | |||
Number of entries: 1 | |||
Members: | |||
188.XXX.XXX.XXX,udp:1194 | |||
</pre> | |||
Another way to check blocked IP addresses is to use the command <b>ubus call ip_block show</b>. This will show all ip addresses that failed to connect to your device. If the <b>counter</b> atribute of the IP address entry is larger or equal then <b>max_attempt_count</b> then that IP address is blocked. | |||
<pre> | |||
{ | |||
"globals": { | |||
"max_attempt_count": 10 | |||
}, | |||
"ip_blockd 188.XXX.XXX.XXX": { | |||
"ip": "188.XXX.XXX.XXX", | |||
"port": "udp:1194", | |||
"counter": "1" | |||
}, | |||
"ip_blockd 188.XXX.XXX.XXX": { | |||
"ip": "188.XXX.XXX.XXX", | |||
"port": "udp:1194", | |||
"counter": "10" | |||
} | |||
} | |||
</pre> | |||
To unblock a blocked client's IP address use the command <b>ubus call ip_block unblock '{"ip":"<blocked_ip_address>","port":"udp:1194"}</b> (replace <blocked_ip_address> inside the quotes with your blocked IP address). If the IP address was unblocked succesfully you should see a similar response: | |||
<pre> | |||
{ | |||
"unblocked": { | |||
"ip": "188.XXX.XXX.XXX", | |||
"port": "udp:1194" | |||
} | |||
} | |||
</pre> | |||
==GRE== | |||
<b>Generic Routing Encapsulation</b> (<b>GRE</b>) is a tunneling protocol used to establish point-to-point connections between remote private networks. GRE tunnels encapsulate data packets in order to route other protocols over IP networks. | |||

Summary
Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a method of connecting multiple private networks across the Internet. VPNs can serve to achieve many different goals, but some of its main purposes are:
- access between remote private networks;
- data encryption;
- anonymity when browsing the Internet.
This page is an overview of the different types of VPNs supported by {{{name}}} devices.
OpenVPN
OpenVPN is an open-source software application that implements virtual private network (VPN) techniques for creating secure point-to-point or site-to-site connections in routed or bridged configurations and remote access facilities. It is often regarded as being the most universal VPN protocol because of its flexibility, support of SSL/TLS security, multiple encryption methods, many networking features and compatibility with most OS platforms.
{{{name}}} devices run OpenVPN version 2.5.3.
OpenVPN Client
An OpenVPN client is an entity that initiates a connection to an OpenVPN server. To create a new client instance, go to the Services → VPN → OpenVPN section, select Role: Client, enter a custom name and click the 'Add' button. An OpenVPN client instance with the given name will appear in the "OpenVPN Configuration" list.
To begin configuration, click the button that looks like a pencil next to the client instance. Refer to the figure and table below for information on the OpenVPN client's configuration fields:

OpenVPN Server
An OpenVPN server is an entity that waits for incoming connections from OpenVPN clients. To create a new server instance, go to the Services → VPN → OpenVPN section, select Role: Server, enter a custom name and click the 'Add' button. An OpenVPN server instance with the given name will appear in the "OpenVPN Configuration" list. Only one OpenVPN server instance is allowed to be added.
A server needs to have a public IP address in order to be available from the public network (the Internet).
To begin configuration, click the button that looks like a pencil next to the server instance. Refer to the figure and table below for information on the OpenVPN server's configuration fields:

TLS Clients
TLS Clients is a way to differentiate clients by their Common Names (CN), which are found in the client certificate file. It can be used to assign specific VPN addresses to corresponding clients and bind them to their LAN addresses, making the server aware of which client has which LAN IP address.
The TLS Clients section can be found in the OpenVPN Server configuration window, provided that the OpenVPN server uses TLS or TLS/Password authentication methods. To create a new TLS client, type in the new client‘s name in the text field found bellow the TLS Clients tab and click the 'Add' button. Refer to the figure and table below for information on the TLS Clients' configuration fields:
Field | Value | Description |
---|---|---|
Endpoint name | string; default: none | A custom name for the client. |
Common name (CN) | string; default: none | Client’s Common Name (CN) found in the client certificate file. |
Virtual local endpoint | ip; default: none | Client’s local address in the virtual network. |

OpenVPN Server Brute-force Prevention
OpenVPN Servers with Authentication set to TLS/Password or Password, Protocol set to UDP and running on Port 1194 have a feature where after a client attempts to connect to the server 10 times with incorrect credentials (password and/or username) they are then blocked from the server.
To check which addresses are blocked one first needs to connect to their device's CLI.
After connecting to your device's CLI use the command ipset list and find the section named ipb_port. There under Members you should see all IP addresses that are blocked.
Name: ipb_port Type: hash:ip,port Revision: 5 Header: family inet hashsize 1024 maxelem 65536 Size in memory: 164 References: 2 Number of entries: 1 Members: 188.XXX.XXX.XXX,udp:1194
Another way to check blocked IP addresses is to use the command ubus call ip_block show. This will show all ip addresses that failed to connect to your device. If the counter atribute of the IP address entry is larger or equal then max_attempt_count then that IP address is blocked.
{ "globals": { "max_attempt_count": 10 }, "ip_blockd 188.XXX.XXX.XXX": { "ip": "188.XXX.XXX.XXX", "port": "udp:1194", "counter": "1" }, "ip_blockd 188.XXX.XXX.XXX": { "ip": "188.XXX.XXX.XXX", "port": "udp:1194", "counter": "10" } }
To unblock a blocked client's IP address use the command ubus call ip_block unblock '{"ip":"<blocked_ip_address>","port":"udp:1194"} (replace <blocked_ip_address> inside the quotes with your blocked IP address). If the IP address was unblocked succesfully you should see a similar response:
{ "unblocked": { "ip": "188.XXX.XXX.XXX", "port": "udp:1194" } }
