Since VyOS is a software router, this is less of a +concern. OpenVPN has been widely used on UNIX platform for a long time and is +a popular option for remote access VPN, though it's also capable of +site-to-site connections. + +Advantages of OpenVPN are: + +* It uses a single TCP or UDP connection and does not rely on packet source + addresses, so it will work even through a double NAT: perfect for public + hotspots and such + +* It's easy to setup and offers very flexible split tunneling + +* There's a variety of client GUI frontends for any platform + +Disadvantages are: + +* It's slower than IPsec due to higher protocol overhead and the fact it runs + in user mode while IPsec, on Linux, is in kernel mode + +* None of the operating systems have client software installed by default + +In the VyOS CLI, a key point often overlooked is that rather than being +configured using the `set vpn` stanza, OpenVPN is configured as a network +interface using `set interfaces openvpn`. + +Site-To-Site +============ + +While many are aware of OpenVPN as a Client VPN solution, it is often +overlooked as a site-to-site VPN solution due to lack of support for this mode +in many router platforms. + +Site-to-site mode supports x.509 but doesn't require it and can also work with +static keys, which is simpler in many cases. In this example, we'll configure +a simple site-to-site OpenVPN tunnel using a 2048-bit pre-shared key. + +First, one of the systems generate the key using the operational command +``generate openvpn key <filename>``. This will generate a key with the name +provided in the ``/config/auth/`` directory. Once generated, you will need to +copy this key to the remote router. + +In our example, we used the filename ``openvpn-1.key`` which we will reference +in our configuration. + +* The public IP address of the local side of the VPN will be 198.51.100.10 +* The remote will be 203.0.113.11 +* The tunnel will use 10.255.1.1 for the local IP and 10.255.1.2 for the remote. +* OpenVPN allows for either TCP or UDP. UDP will provide the lowest latency, + while TCP will work better for lossy connections; generally UDP is preferred + when possible. +* The official port for OpenVPN is 1194, which we reserve for client VPN; we + will use 1195 for site-to-site VPN. +* The ``persistent-tunnel`` directive will allow us to configure tunnel-related + attributes, such as firewall policy as we would on any normal network + interface. +* If known, the IP of the remote router can be configured using the + ``remote-host`` directive; if unknown, it can be omitted. We will assume a + dynamic IP for our remote router. + +Local Configuration: + +.. code-block:: none + + set interfaces openvpn vtun1 mode site-to-site + set interfaces openvpn vtun1 protocol udp + set interfaces openvpn vtun1 persistent-tunnel + set interfaces openvpn vtun1 local-host '198.51.100.10' + set interfaces openvpn vtun1 local-port '1195' + set interfaces openvpn vtun1 remote-port '1195' + set interfaces openvpn vtun1 shared-secret-key-file '/config/auth/openvpn-1.key' + set interfaces openvpn vtun1 local-address '10.255.1.1' + set interfaces openvpn vtun1 remote-address '10.255.1.2' + +Remote Configuration: + +.. code-block:: none + + set interfaces openvpn vtun1 mode site-to-site + set interfaces openvpn vtun1 protocol udp + set interfaces openvpn vtun1 persistent-tunnel + set interfaces openvpn vtun1 remote-host '198.51.100.10' + set interfaces openvpn vtun1 local-port '1195' + set interfaces openvpn vtun1 remote-port '1195' + set interfaces openvpn vtun1 shared-secret-key-file '/config/auth/openvpn-1.key' + set interfaces openvpn vtun1 local-address '10.255.1.2' + set interfaces openvpn vtun1 remote-address '10.255.1.1' + +The configurations above will default to using 256-bit AES in GCM mode +for encryption (if both sides supports NCP) and SHA-1 for HMAC authentication. +SHA-1 is considered weak, but other hashing algorithms are available, as are +encryption algorithms: + +For Encryption: + +This sets the cipher when NCP (Negotiable Crypto Parameters) is disabled or +OpenVPN version < 2.4.0. + +.. code-block:: none + + vyos@vyos# set interfaces openvpn vtun1 encryption cipher + Possible completions: + des DES algorithm + 3des DES algorithm with triple encryption + bf128 Blowfish algorithm with 128-bit key + bf256 Blowfish algorithm with 256-bit key + aes128 AES algorithm with 128-bit key CBC + aes128gcm AES algorithm with 128-bit key GCM + aes192 AES algorithm with 192-bit key CBC + aes192gcm AES algorithm with 192-bit key GCM + aes256 AES algorithm with 256-bit key CBC + aes256gcm AES algorithm with 256-bit key GCM + +This sets the accepted ciphers to use when version => 2.4.0 and NCP is +enabled (which is default).

This is either by +referencing IP address or port number. One option is to dedicate a public IP +to each tunnel. Another option is to dedicate a port number to each tunnel +(e.g. 1195,1196,1197...). + +OpenVPN status can be verified using the `show openvpn` operational commands. +See the built-in help for a complete list of options. + +Server +====== + +Multi-client server is the most popular OpenVPN mode on routers. It always uses +x.509 authentication and therefore requires a PKI setup. Refer this section +**Generate X.509 Certificate and Keys** to generate a CA certificate, +a server certificate and key, a certificate revocation list, a Diffie-Hellman +key exchange parameters file. You do not need client certificates and keys for the server setup. + +In this example we will use the most complicated case: a setup where each +client is a router that has its own subnet (think HQ and branch offices), since +simpler setups are subsets of it. + +Suppose you want to use 10.23.1.0/24 network for client tunnel endpoints and +all client subnets belong to 10.23.0.0/20. All clients need access to the +192.168.0.0/16 network. + +First we need to specify the basic settings. 1194/UDP is the default. The +``persistent-tunnel`` option is recommended, it prevents the TUN/TAP device from +closing on connection resets or daemon reloads. + +.. note:: Using **openvpn-option -reneg-sec** can be tricky. This option is + used to renegotiate data channel after n seconds. When used at both server + and client, the lower value will trigger the renegotiation. If you set it to + 0 on one side of the connection (to disable it), the chosen value on the + other side will determine when the renegotiation will occur. + +.. code-block:: none + + set interfaces openvpn vtun10 mode server + set interfaces openvpn vtun10 local-port 1194 + set interfaces openvpn vtun10 persistent-tunnel + set interfaces openvpn vtun10 protocol udp + +Then we need to specify the location of the cryptographic materials.

In all cases we need to +specify the subnet for client tunnel endpoints.
