+IPsec General Information
+#########################
+
+***********************
+Information about IPsec
+***********************
+
+IPsec is the framework used to secure data.
+IPsec accomplishes these goals by providing authentication,
+encryption of IP network packets, key exchange, and key management.
+VyOS uses Strongswan package to implement IPsec.
+
+**Authentication Header (AH)** is defined in :rfc:`4302`. It creates
+a hash using the IP header and data payload, and prepends it to the
+packet. This hash is used to validate that the data has not been
+changed during transfer over the network.
+
+**Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP)** is defined in :rfc:`4303`.
+It provides encryption and authentication of the data.
+
+
+There are two IPsec modes:
+ **IPsec Transport Mode**:
+ In transport mode, an IPSec header (AH or ESP) is inserted
+ between the IP header and the upper layer protocol header.
+
+ **IPsec Tunnel Mode:**
+ In tunnel mode, the original IP packet is encapsulated in
+ another IP datagram, and an IPsec header (AH or ESP) is
+ inserted between the outer and inner headers.

+
+***************************
+IKE (Internet Key Exchange)
+***************************
+The default IPsec method for secure key negotiation is the Internet Key
+Exchange (IKE) protocol. IKE is designed to provide mutual authentication
+of systems, as well as to establish a shared secret key to create IPsec
+security associations. A security association (SA) includes all relevant
+attributes of the connection, including the cryptographic algorithm used,
+the IPsec mode, the encryption key, and other parameters related to the
+transmission of data over the VPN connection.
+
+IKEv1
+=====
+
+IKEv1 is the older version and is still used today. Nowadays, most
+manufacturers recommend using IKEv2 protocol.
+
+IKEv1 is described in the next RFCs: :rfc:`2409` (IKE), :rfc:`3407`
+(IPsec DOI), :rfc:`3947` (NAT-T), :rfc:`3948` (UDP Encapsulation
+of ESP Packets), :rfc:`3706` (DPD)
+
+IKEv1 operates in two phases to establish these IKE and IPsec SAs:
+ * **Phase 1** provides mutual authentication of the IKE peers and
+ establishment of the session key. This phase creates an IKE SA (a
+ security association for IKE) using a DH exchange, cookies, and an
+ ID exchange. Once an IKE SA is established, all IKE communication
+ between the initiator and responder is protected with encryption
+ and an integrity check that is authenticated. The purpose of IKE
+ phase 1 is to facilitate a secure channel between the peers so that
+ phase 2 negotiations can occur securely. IKE phase 1 offers two modes:
+ Main and Aggressive.
+
+ * **Main Mode** is used for site-to-site VPN connections.
+
+ * **Aggressive Mode** is used for remote access VPN connections.
+
+ * **Phase 2** provides for the negotiation and establishment of the
+ IPsec SAs using ESP or AH to protect IP data traffic.
+
+IKEv2
+=====
+
+IKEv2 is described in :rfc:`7296`. The biggest difference between IKEv1 and
+IKEv2 is that IKEv2 is much simpler and more reliable than IKEv1 because
+fewer messages are exchanged during the establishment of the VPN and
+additional security capabilities are available.
+
+
+IKE Authentication
+==================
+
+VyOS supports 3 authentication methods.
+ * **Pre-shared keys**: In this method, both peers of the IPsec
+ tunnel must have the same preshared keys.
+ * **Digital certificates**: PKI is used in this method.
+ * **RSA-keys**: If the RSA-keys method is used in your IKE policy,
+ you need to make sure each peer has the other peer’s public keys.
+
+*************************
+DPD (Dead Peer Detection)
+*************************
+
+This is a mechanism used to detect when a VPN peer is no longer active.
+This mechanism has different algorithms in IKEv1 and IKEv2 in VyOS.
+DPD Requests are sent as ISAKMP R-U-THERE messages and DPD Responses
+are sent as ISAKMP R-U-THERE-ACK messages. In IKEv1, DPD sends messages
+every configured interval. The remote peer is considered unreachable
+if no response to these packets is received within the DPD timeout.
+In IKEv2, DPD sends messages every configured interval. If one request
+is not responded, Strongswan execute its retransmission algorithm with
+its timers. https://docs.strongswan.org/docs/5.9/config/retransmission.html
+
+*****************
+Configuration IKE
+*****************
+
+IKE (Internet Key Exchange) Attributes
+======================================
+
+VyOS IKE group has the next options:
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set vpn ipsec ike-group <name> close-action <action>
+
+ Defines the action to take if the remote peer unexpectedly
+ closes a CHILD_SA:
+
+ * **none** - Set action to none (default),
+ * **trap** - Installs a trap policy (IPsec policy without Security
+ Association) for the CHILD_SA and traffic matching these policies
+ will trigger acquire events that cause the daemon to establish the
+ required IKE/IPsec SAs.
+ * **start** - Tries to immediately re-create the CHILD_SA.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set vpn ipsec ike-group <name> ikev2-reauth
+
+ Whether rekeying of an IKE_SA should also reauthenticate
+ the peer. In IKEv1, reauthentication is always done.
+ Setting this parameter enables remote host re-authentication
+ during an IKE rekey.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set vpn ipsec ike-group <name> key-exchange
+
+ Which protocol should be used to initialize the connection
+ If not set both protocols are handled and connections will

+ IKEv1 Phase 1 Mode Selection:
+
+ * **main** - Use Main mode for Key Exchanges in the IKEv1 Protocol
+ (Recommended Default).
+ * **aggressive** - Use Aggressive mode for Key Exchanges in the IKEv1
+ protocol aggressive mode is much more insecure compared to Main mode.

+ Cisco brand devices allow negotiating a local traffic selector (from
+ strongSwan's point of view) that is not the assigned virtual IP address if
+ such an address is requested by strongSwan. Sending the Cisco FlexVPN
+ vendor ID prevents the peer from narrowing the initiator's local traffic
+ selector and allows it to e.g. negotiate a TS of 0.0.0.0/0 == 0.0.0.0/0
+ instead. This has been tested with a "tunnel mode ipsec ipv4" Cisco
+ template but should also work for GRE encapsulation.
+

+
+IPSec IKEv2 Remote Access VPN
+=============================
+
+Internet Key Exchange version 2 (IKEv2) is a tunneling protocol, based on IPsec,
+that establishes a secure VPN communication between VPN devices, and defines
+negotiation and authentication processes for IPsec security associations (SAs).
+It is often known as IKEv2/IPSec or IPSec IKEv2 remote-access — or road-warriors
+as others call it.
+
+Key exchange and payload encryption is done using IKE and ESP proposals as known
+from IKEv1 but the connections are faster to establish, more reliable, and also
+support roaming from IP to IP (called MOBIKE which makes sure your connection
+does not drop when changing networks from e.g. WIFI to LTE and back).
+Authentication can be achieved with X.509 certificates.
+
+Setting up certificates:
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+First of all, we need to create a CA root certificate and server certificate
+on the server side.
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ vyos@vpn.vyos.net# run generate pki ca install ca_root
+ Enter private key type: [rsa, dsa, ec] (Default: rsa)
+ Enter private key bits: (Default: 2048)
+ Enter country code: (Default: GB)
+ Enter state: (Default: Some-State)
+ Enter locality: (Default: Some-City)
+ Enter organization name: (Default: VyOS)
+ Enter common name: (Default: vyos.io)
+ Enter how many days certificate will be valid: (Default: 1825)
+ Note: If you plan to use the generated key on this router, do not encrypt the private key.
+ Do you want to encrypt the private key with a passphrase? [y/N] N
+ 2 value(s) installed. Use "compare" to see the pending changes, and "commit" to apply.
+ [edit]
+
+
+ vyos@vpn.vyos.net# comp
+ [pki ca]
+ + ca_root {
+ + certificate "MIIDnTCCAoWgAwI…."
+ + private {
+ + key "MIIEvAIBADANBgkqhkiG9….”
+
+ vyos@vpn.vyos.net# run generate pki certificate sign ca_root install server_cert
+ Do you already have a certificate request? [y/N] N
+ Enter private key type: [rsa, dsa, ec] (Default: rsa)
+ Enter private key bits: (Default: 2048)
+ Enter country code: (Default: GB)
+ Enter state: (Default: Some-State)
+ Enter locality: (Default: Some-City)
+ Enter organization name: (Default: VyOS)
+ Enter common name: (Default: vyos.io) vpn.vyos.net
+ Do you want to configure Subject Alternative Names? [y/N] N
+ Enter how many days certificate will be valid: (Default: 365)
+ Enter certificate type: (client, server) (Default: server)
+ Note: If you plan to use the generated key on this router, do not encrypt the private key.
+ Do you want to encrypt the private key with a passphrase? [y/N] N
+ 2 value(s) installed. Use "compare" to see the pending changes, and "commit" to apply.
+
+ vyos@vpn.vyos.net# comp
+ [pki certificate]
+ + server_cert {
+ + certificate "MIIDuzCCAqOgAwIBAgIUaSrCPWx………"
+ + private {
+ + key "MIIEvQIBADANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAASCBK….."
+ + }
+ + }
+
+
+Once the command is completed, it will add the certificate to the configuration
+session, to the pki subtree. You can then review the proposed changes and
+commit them.
+
+Setting up IPSec:
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+After the PKI certs are all set up we can start configuring our IPSec/IKE
+proposals used for key-exchange end data encryption. The used encryption ciphers
+and integrity algorithms vary from operating system to operating system. The
+ones used in this example are validated to work on Windows 10.
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ set vpn ipsec esp-group ESP-RW lifetime '3600'
+ set vpn ipsec esp-group ESP-RW pfs 'disable'
+ set vpn ipsec esp-group ESP-RW proposal 10 encryption 'aes128gcm128'
+ set vpn ipsec esp-group ESP-RW proposal 10 hash 'sha256'
+
+ set vpn ipsec ike-group IKE-RW key-exchange 'ikev2'
+ set vpn ipsec ike-group IKE-RW lifetime '7200'
+ set vpn ipsec ike-group IKE-RW proposal 10 dh-group '14'
+ set vpn ipsec ike-group IKE-RW proposal 10 encryption 'aes128gcm128'
+ set vpn ipsec ike-group IKE-RW proposal 10 hash 'sha256'
+
+Every connection/remote-access pool we configure also needs a pool where we
+can draw our client IP addresses from. We provide one IPv4 and IPv6 pool.
+Authorized clients will receive an IPv4 address from the configured IPv4 prefix
+and an IPv6 address from the IPv6 prefix. We can also send some DNS nameservers
+down to our clients used on their connection.
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ set vpn ipsec remote-access pool ra-rw-ipv4 name-server '192.0.2.1'
+ set vpn ipsec remote-access pool ra-rw-ipv4 prefix '192.0.2.128/25'
+
+ set vpn ipsec remote-access pool ra-rw-ipv6 name-server '2001:db8:1000::1'
+ set vpn ipsec remote-access pool ra-rw-ipv6 prefix '2001:db8:2000::/64'
+
+Setting up tunnel:
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ set vpn ipsec remote-access connection rw authentication local-id '192.0.2.1'
+ set vpn ipsec remote-access connection rw authentication server-mode 'x509'
+ set vpn ipsec remote-access connection rw authentication x509 ca-certificate 'ca_root'
+ set vpn ipsec remote-access connection rw authentication x509 certificate 'server_cert'
+ set vpn ipsec remote-access connection rw esp-group 'ESP-RW'
+ set vpn ipsec remote-access connection rw ike-group 'IKE-RW'
+ set vpn ipsec remote-access connection rw local-address '192.0.2.1'
+ set vpn ipsec remote-access connection rw pool 'ra-rw-ipv4'
+ set vpn ipsec remote-access connection rw pool 'ra-rw-ipv6'
+
+VyOS also supports two different modes of authentication, local and RADIUS.
+To create a new local user named "vyos" with a password of "vyos" use the
+following commands.
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ set vpn ipsec remote-access connection rw authentication client-mode 'eap-mschapv2'
+ set vpn ipsec remote-access connection rw authentication local-users username vyos password 'vyos'
+
+Client Configuration
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Most operating systems include native client support for IPsec IKEv2 VPN
+connections, and others typically have an app or add-on package which adds the
+capability.
+This section covers IPsec IKEv2 client configuration for Windows 10.
+
+VyOS provides a command to generate a connection profile used by Windows clients
+that will connect to the "rw" connection on our VyOS server.
+
+.. note:: Windows expects the server name to be also used in the server's
+ certificate common name, so it's best to use this DNS name for your VPN
+ connection.
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ vyos@vpn.vyos.net:~$ generate ipsec profile windows-remote-access rw remote vpn.vyos.net

+
+****************************
+IPsec Site-to-Site VPN Types
+****************************
+
+VyOS supports two types of IPsec VPN: Policy-based IPsec VPN and Route-based
+IPsec VPN.
+
+Policy-based VPN
+================
+
+Policy-based VPN is based on static configured policies. Each policy creates
+individual IPSec SA. Traffic matches these SAs encrypted and directed to the
+remote peer.
+
+Route-Based VPN
+===============
+
+Route-based VPN is based on secure traffic passing over Virtual Tunnel
+Interfaces (VTIs). This type of IPsec VPNs allows using routing protocols.
+
+******************************
+Configuration Site-to-Site VPN
+******************************
+
+Requirements and Prerequisites for Site-to-Site VPN
+===================================================
+
+**Negotiated parameters that need to match**
+
+Phase 1
+ * IKE version
+ * Authentication
+ * Encryption
+ * Hashing
+ * PRF
+ * Lifetime
+
+ .. note:: Strongswan recommends to use the same lifetime value on both peers
+
+Phase 2
+ * Encryption
+ * Hashing
+ * PFS
+ * Mode (tunnel or transport)
+ * Lifetime
+
+ .. note:: Strongswan recommends to use the same lifetime value on both peers
+
+ * Remote and Local networks in SA must be compatible on both peers
+
+Configuration Steps for Site-to-Site VPN
+========================================
+
+The next example shows the configuration one of the router participating in
+IPsec VPN.
+
+Tunnel information:
+ * Phase 1:
+ * encryption: AES256
+ * hash: SHA256
+ * PRF: SHA256
+ * DH: 14
+ * lifetime: 28800
+ * Phase 2:
+ * IPsec mode: tunnel
+ * encryption: AES256
+ * hash: SHA256
+ * PFS: inherited from DH Phase 1
+ * lifetime: 3600
+ * If Policy based VPN is used
+ * Remote network is 192.168.50.0/24. Local network is 192.168.10.0/24
+ * If Route based VPN is used
+ * IP of the VTI interface is 10.0.0.1/30
+
+.. note:: We do not recommend using policy-based vpn and route-based vpn configurations to the same peer.

+
+Initiator and Responder Connection Types
+========================================
+
+In Site-to-Site IPsec VPN it is recommended that one peer should be an
+initiator and the other - the responder. The initiator actively establishes
+the VPN tunnel. The responder passively waits for the remote peer to
+establish the VPN tunnel. Depends on selected role it is recommended
+select proper values for close-action and DPD action.
+
+The result of wrong value selection can be unstable work of the VPN.
+ * Duplicate CHILD SA creation.
+ * None of the VPN sides initiates the tunnel establishment.
+
+Below flow-chart could be a quick reference for the close-action
+combination depending on how the peer is configured.
+
+.. figure:: /_static/images/IPSec_close_action_settings.png
+
+Similar combinations are applicable for the dead-peer-detection.

+------------------
+
+Peer Authentication Commands
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer <name> authentication mode <mode>
+
+ Mode for authentication between VyOS and remote peer:
+
+ * **pre-shared-secret** - Use predefined shared secret phrase.

+Global Peer Configuration Commands
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer <name> connection-type <type>
+
+ Operational mode defines how to handle this connection process.
+
+ * **initiate** - does initial connection to remote peer immediately
+ after configuring and after boot. In this mode the connection will
+ not be restarted in case of disconnection, therefore should be used
+ only together with DPD or another session tracking methods.
+ * **respond** - does not try to initiate a connection to a remote
+ peer. In this mode, the IPsec session will be established only
+ after initiation from a remote peer. Could be useful when there
+ is no direct connectivity to the peer due to firewall or NAT in
+ the middle of the local and remote side.
+ * **none** - loads the connection only, which then can be manually
+ initiated or used as a responder configuration.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer <name> default-esp-group <name>
+
+ Name of ESP group to use by default for traffic encryption.
+ Might be overwritten by individual settings for tunnel or VTI

+ connection with this peer, will be used as ``local-address``.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer <name> force-udp-encapsulation
+
+ Force encapsulation of ESP into UDP datagrams. Useful in case if
+ between local and remote side is firewall or NAT, which not
+ allows passing plain ESP packets between them.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer <name> ike-group <name>
+
+ Name of IKE group to use for key exchanges.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer <name> local-address <address>
+
+ Local IP address for IPsec connection with this peer.
+ If defined ``any``, then an IP address which configured on interface with
+ default route will be used.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer <name> remote-address <address>
+
+ Remote IP address or hostname for IPsec connection. IPv4 or IPv6
+ address is used when a peer has a public static IP address. Hostname
+ is a DNS name which could be used when a peer has a public IP
+ address and DNS name, but an IP address could be changed from time
+ to time.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer <name> replay-window <size>
+

+"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
+
+To configure route-based VPN it is enough to create vti interface and

+will be encrypted and send to this peer. Using VTI makes IPsec
+configuration much flexible and easier in complex situation, and
+allows to dynamically add/delete remote networks, reachable via a
+peer, as in this mode router don't need to create additional SA/policy
+for each remote network.
+
+.. warning:: When using site-to-site IPsec with VTI interfaces,
+ be sure to disable route autoinstall.

+Troubleshooting Site-to-Site VPN IPsec
+######################################
+
+************
+Introduction
+************
+
+This document describes the methodology to monitor and troubleshoot
+Site-to-Site VPN IPsec.
+
+Steps for troubleshooting problems with Site-to-Site VPN IPsec:
+ 1. Ping the remote site through the tunnel using the source and
+ destination IPs included in the policy.
+ 2. Check connectivity between the routers using the ping command
+ (if ICMP traffic is allowed).
+ 3. Check the IKE SAs' statuses.
+ 4. Check the IPsec SAs' statuses.
+ 5. Check logs to view debug messages.
+
+**********************
+Checking IKE SA Status
