<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>
<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>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, then you will want the
following entry in /etc/shorewall/tunnels instead of the one
above:</para>
<programlisting>#TYPE ZONE GATEWAY GATEWAY ZONE
generic:udp:5000 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 5000/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>
