  <section id="Routed">
    <title>Bridging two Masqueraded Networks</title>

    <para>Suppose that we have the following situation:</para>

    <graphic fileref="images/TwoNets1.png" />

    <para>We want systems in the 192.168.1.0/24 subnetwork to be able to
    communicate with the systems in the 10.0.0.0/8 network. This is
    accomplished through use of the
    <filename>/etc/shorewall/tunnels</filename> file and the
    <filename>/etc/shorewall/policy file</filename> and OpenVPN.</para>

    <para>While it was possible to use the Shorewall start and stop script to
    start and stop OpenVPN, I decided to use the init script of OpenVPN to
    start and stop it.</para>

    <para>On each firewall, you will need to declare a zone to represent the
    remote subnet. We'll assume that this zone is called <quote>vpn</quote>
    and declare it in <filename>/etc/shorewall/zones</filename> on both
    systems as follows.</para>

    <blockquote>
      <para><filename>/etc/shorewall/zones</filename> — Systems A &amp;
      B</para>

      <programlisting>#ZONE   TYPE   OPTIONS                 IN                      OUT
#                                      OPTIONS                 OPTIONS
vpn     ipv4</programlisting>
    </blockquote>

    <para>On system A, the 10.0.0.0/8 will comprise the <emphasis
    role="bold">vpn</emphasis> zone.</para>

    <blockquote>
      <para>In <filename>/etc/shorewall/interfaces</filename> on system
      A:</para>

      <programlisting>#ZONE      INTERFACE        BROADCAST     OPTIONS
vpn        tun0</programlisting>
    </blockquote>

    <para>In <filename>/etc/shorewall/tunnels</filename> on system A, we need
    the following:</para>

    <blockquote>
      <programlisting>#TYPE         ZONE           GATEWAY        GATEWAY ZONE
openvpn       net            134.28.54.2</programlisting>
    </blockquote>

    <para>This entry in <filename>/etc/shorewall/tunnels</filename> opens the
    firewall so that OpenVPN traffic on the default port 1194/udp will be
    accepted to/from the remote gateway. If you change the port used by
    OpenVPN to 7777, you can define /etc/shorewall/tunnels like this:</para>

    <blockquote>
      <para>/etc/shorewall/tunnels with port 7777:</para>

      <programlisting>#TYPE             ZONE           GATEWAY         GATEWAY ZONE
openvpn:7777      net            134.28.54.2</programlisting>
    </blockquote>

    <para>Similarly, if you want to use TCP for your tunnel rather than UDP
    (the default), then you can define /etc/shorewall/tunnels like
    this:</para>

    <blockquote>
      <para>/etc/shorewall/tunnels using TCP:</para>

      <programlisting>#TYPE             ZONE           GATEWAY         GATEWAY ZONE
openvpn:tcp       net            134.28.54.2</programlisting>
    </blockquote>

    <para>Finally, if you want to use TCP and port 7777:</para>

    <blockquote>
      <para>/etc/shorewall/tunnels using TCP port 7777:</para>

      <programlisting>#TYPE             ZONE           GATEWAY         GATEWAY ZONE
openvpn:tcp:7777  net            134.28.54.2</programlisting>
    </blockquote>

    <para>This is the OpenVPN config on system A:</para>

    <blockquote>
      <programlisting>dev tun
local 206.162.148.9
remote 134.28.54.2
ifconfig 192.168.99.1 192.168.99.2

    </blockquote>

    <para>Similarly, On system B the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet will comprise the
    <emphasis role="bold">vpn</emphasis> zone</para>

    <blockquote>
      <para>In <filename>/etc/shorewall/interfaces</filename> on system
      B:</para>

      <programlisting>#ZONE      INTERFACE        BROADCAST     OPTIONS
vpn        tun0 </programlisting>
    </blockquote>

    <para>In <filename>/etc/shorewall/tunnels</filename> on system B, we
    have:</para>

    <blockquote>
      <programlisting>#TYPE         ZONE           GATEWAY        GATEWAY ZONE
openvpn       net            206.191.148.9</programlisting>
    </blockquote>

    <para>And in the OpenVPN config on system B:</para>

    <blockquote>
      <programlisting>dev tun
local 134.28.54.2
remote 206.162.148.9
ifconfig 192.168.99.2 192.168.99.1

tls-client
ca ca.crt
cert my-b.crt
key my-b.key
comp-lzo
verb 5</programlisting>
    </blockquote>

    <para>You will need to allow traffic between the <quote>vpn</quote> zone
    and the <quote>loc</quote> zone on both systems -- if you simply want to
    admit all traffic in both directions, you can use the policy file:</para>

    <blockquote>
      <para><filename>/etc/shorewall/policy </filename>on systems A &amp;
      B</para>

      <programlisting>#SOURCE        DEST          POLICY          LOG LEVEL
loc            vpn           ACCEPT
vpn            loc           ACCEPT</programlisting>
    </blockquote>

    <para>On both systems, restart Shorewall and start OpenVPN. The systems in
    the two masqueraded subnetworks can now talk to each other.</para>
  </section>

  <section id="RoadWarrior">
    <title>Roadwarrior</title>

    <para>OpenVPN 2.0 provides excellent support for roadwarriors. Consider
    the setup in the following diagram:</para>

    <graphic fileref="images/Mobile.png" />

    <para>On the gateway system (System A), we need a zone to represent the
    remote clients — we'll call that zone <quote>road</quote>.</para>

    <blockquote>
      <para><filename>/etc/shorewall/zones</filename> — System A:</para>

      <programlisting>#ZONE   TYPE   OPTIONS                 IN                      OUT

    <para>In <filename>/etc/shorewall/tunnels</filename> on system A, we need

openvpn:1194  net            0.0.0.0/0</programlisting>
    </blockquote>

    <para>If you are running Shorewall 2.4.3 or later, you might prefer the
    following in <filename>/etc/shorewall/tunnels</filename> on system A.
    Specifying the tunnel type as openvpnserver has the advantage that the VPN
    connection will still work if the client is behind a gateway/firewall that
    uses NAT.</para>

    <blockquote>
      <programlisting>#TYPE               ZONE           GATEWAY        GATEWAY ZONE
openvpnserver:1194  net            0.0.0.0/0</programlisting>
    </blockquote>

    <para>We want the remote systems to have access to the local LAN — we do
    that with an entry in <filename>/etc/shorewall/policy</filename> (assume
    that the local LAN comprises the zone <quote>loc</quote>).</para>

    <blockquote>
      <programlisting>#SOURCE      DESTINATION        POLICY
road         loc                ACCEPT</programlisting>
    </blockquote>

    <para>The OpenVPN configuration file on system A is something like the
    following:</para>

    <blockquote>

    <para>Configuration on the remote clients follows a similar line. We
    define a zone to represent the remote LAN:</para>

    <blockquote>

    <para>On system A, the hosts accessible through the tunnel will comprise

    <para>In <filename>/etc/shorewall/tunnels</filename> on system B, we need

    </blockquote>

    <para>Again, if you are running Shorewall 2.4.3 or later, in

    <para>We want the remote client to have access to the local LAN — we do

$FW          home               ACCEPT</programlisting>

    <para>The OpenVPN configuration on the remote clients is along the

    <title>Roadwarrior with IPv6</title>

    <para>While OpenVPN supports tunneling of IPv6 packets, the version of the
    code that I run under OS X on my Macbook Pro does not support that option.
    Nevertheless, I am able to take IPv6 on the road with me by creating a
    6to4 tunnel through the OpenVPN IPv6 tunnel. In this configuration, the
    IPv4 address pair (172.20.0.10,172.20.0.11) is used for the OpenVPN tunnel
    and (2001:470:e857:2::1,2001:470:e857:2::2) is used for the 6to4
    tunnel.</para>

    <title>Bridging Two Networks</title>

    <para>Occasionally, the need arises to have a single LAN span two
    different geographical locations. OpenVPN allows that to be done
    easily.</para>

    <para>Consider the following case:</para>

    <graphic align="center" fileref="images/bridge4.png" />

    <para>Part of the 192.168.1.0/24 network is in one location and part in
    another. The two LANs can be bridged with OpenVPN as described in this
    section. This example uses a fixed shared key for encryption.</para>

    <para>OpenVPN configuration on left-hand firewall:</para>

    <programlisting>remote 130.252.100.109
dev tap0
secret /etc/openvpn/bridgekey</programlisting>

    <para>OpenVPN configuration on right-hand firewall:</para>

    <programlisting>remote 206.124.146.176
dev tap0
secret /etc/openvpn/bridgekey</programlisting>

    <para>The bridges can be created by manually making the tap device tap0
    and bridgeing it with the local ethernet interface. Assuming that the
    local interface on both sides is eth1, the following stanzas in
    /etc/network/interfaces (Debian and derivatives) will create the bridged
    interfaces.</para>

    <note>
      <para>The stanzas below were written before bridges could be defined in
      /etc/network/interfaces. For current usage, see bridge-utils-interfaces
      (5).</para>
    </note>
