.. _examples-policy-based-ipsec-and-firewall: Policy-Based Site-to-Site VPN and Firewall Configuration -------------------------------------------------------- This guide shows an example policy-based IKEv2 site-to-site VPN between two VyOS routers, and firewall configuration. For simplicity, configuration and tests are done only using IPv4, and firewall configuration is done only on one router. Network Topology and requirements ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This configuration example and the requirments consists of: - Two VyOS routers with public IP address. - 2 private subnets on each site. - Local subnets should be able to reach internet using source NAT. - Communication between private subnets should be done through IPSec tunnel without NAT. - Configuration of basic firewall in one site, in order to: - Protect the router on 'WAN' interface, allowing only IPSec connections and SSH access from trusted IPs. - Allow access to the router only from trusted networks. - Allow DNS requests only only for local networks. - Allow ICMP on all interfaces. - Allow all new connections from local subnets. - Allow connections from LANs to LANs throught the tunnel. .. image:: /_static/images/policy-based-ipsec-and-firewall.png Configuration ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Interface and routing configuration: .. code-block:: none #
