<para>OpenVPN is a robust and highly configurable VPN (Virtual Private
Network) daemon which can be used to securely link two or more private
networks using an encrypted tunnel over the internet. OpenVPN is an Open
Source project and is <ulink
url="http://openvpn.sourceforge.net/license.html">licensed under the
GPL</ulink>. OpenVPN can be downloaded from <ulink
url="http://openvpn.sourceforge.net/">http://openvpn.sourceforge.net/</ulink>.</para>
<para>OpenVPN support was added to Shorewall in version 1.3.14.</para>
<warning>
<para>The default port number for OpenVPN changed from 5000 to 1194 in
Shorewall version 2.2.0 RC2. This change follows OpenVPN 2.0 which also
changed its default port to 1194. In the text that follows, where you see
Port 1194 this can also refer to port 5000 depending on which version of
Shorewall and OpenVPN that you are using.</para>
</warning>

<title>Preliminary Reading</title>
<para>I recommend reading the <ulink url="VPNBasics.html">VPN
Basics</ulink> article if you plan to implement any type of VPN.</para>

<section>
<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 DISPLAY COMMENTS
vpn VPN Remote subnet</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>
<note>
<para>Shorewall versions prior to 2.2.0 Beta 1 enforced use of the same
port number for both the source and destination port.</para>
<para>Some OpenVPN clients (notabley on <trademark>Windows</trademark>)
do not use the same source and destination ports which can cause
problems. If system B is a Windows system or if you find that Shorewall
is blocking the UDP port 1194 traffic from the remote gateway and you
are running a version of Shorewall prior to 2.2.0 Beta 1, then you will
want the following entry in <filename>/etc/shorewall/tunnels</filename>
instead of the one above:</para>
<programlisting>#TYPE ZONE GATEWAY GATEWAY ZONE
generic:udp:1194 net 134.28.54.2</programlisting>
</note>
<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>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
up ./route-a.up
tls-server
dh dh1024.pem
ca ca.crt
cert my-a.crt
key my-a.key
comp-lzo
verb 5</programlisting>
</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 192.168.1.255</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
up ./route-b.up
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>

<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 DISPLAY COMMENTS
road Roadwarriors Remote clients</programlisting>
</blockquote>
<para>On system A, the remote clients will comprise the <emphasis
role="bold">road</emphasis> zone.</para>
<blockquote>
<para>In <filename>/etc/shorewall/interfaces</filename> on system
A:</para>
<programlisting>#ZONE INTERFACE BROADCAST OPTIONS
road tun+</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: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>
<programlisting>dev tun
server 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0
dh dh1024.pem
ca /etc/certs/cacert.pem
crl-verify /etc/certs/crl.pem
cert /etc/certs/SystemA.pem
key /etc/certs/SystemA_key.pem
port 1194
comp-lzo
user nobody
group nogroup
ping 15
ping-restart 45
ping-timer-rem
persist-tun
persist-key
verb 3</programlisting>
</blockquote>
<para>Configuration on the remote clients follows a similar line. We
define a zone to represent the remote LAN:</para>
<blockquote>
<para><filename>/etc/shorewall/zones</filename> — System B:</para>
<programlisting>#ZONE DISPLAY COMMENTS
home Home Home LAN</programlisting>
</blockquote>
<para>On system A, the hosts accessible through the tunnel will comprise
the <emphasis role="bold">home</emphasis> zone.</para>
<blockquote>
<para>In <filename>/etc/shorewall/interfaces</filename> on system
B:</para>
<programlisting>#ZONE INTERFACE BROADCAST OPTIONS
home tun0</programlisting>
</blockquote>
<para>In <filename>/etc/shorewall/tunnels</filename> on system B, we need
the following:</para>
<blockquote>
<programlisting>#TYPE ZONE GATEWAY GATEWAY ZONE
openvpn:1194 net 206.162.148.9</programlisting>
</blockquote>
<para>We want the remote clien to have access to the local LAN — we do
that with an entry in <filename>/etc/shorewall/policy</filename>.</para>
<blockquote>
<programlisting>#SOURCE DESTINATION POLICY
$FW home ACCEPT</programlisting>
</blockquote>
<para>The OpenVPN configuration on the remote clients is along the
following line:</para>
<blockquote>
<programlisting>dev tun
remote 206.162.148.9
up /etc/openvpn/home.up
tls-client
pull
ca /etc/certs/cacert.pem
cert /etc/certs/SystemB.pem
key /etc/certs/SystemB_key.pem
port 1194
user nobody
group nogroup
comp-lzo
ping 15
ping-restart 45
ping-timer-rem
persist-tun
persist-key
verb 3</programlisting>
</blockquote>
<para>If you want multiple remote clients to be able to communicate openly
with each other then you must:</para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Include the <emphasis role="bold">client-to-client</emphasis>
directive in the server's OpenVPN configuration; and</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Specify the <emphasis role="bold">routeback</emphasis> option on
the <filename class="devicefile">tun+</filename> device in <ulink
url="Documentation.htm#Interfaces">/etc/shorewall/interfaces</ulink>.</para>
</listitem>
</orderedlist>
<para>If you want to selectively allow communication between the clients,
then see <ulink
