#Readme This ansible role deploys xl2tpd over IPsec (client) for Ubuntu 12.04 (tested on vagrant)

##Prerequisite

  • Having ansible installed on your workstation.
  • A host or node to deploy the vpn client on
  • VPN Server (tested with openswan)

##How to install

  • Use github to clone/fork in your role directory
  • ansible galaxy ansible-galaxy install adham.helal.l2tp_ipsec

##Variables All the default variables are located defaults/main.yml. Mostly you would need to configure the following variables.

  • vpn_server: The vpn server hostname or IP (required)

    vpn_server : vpn.example.com

  • vpn_PSK: vpn Pre-shared key (required)

    vpn_PSK : "shared_key"

  • vpn_username: vpn user name (required)

    vpn_username : "username"

  • vpn_password: vpn password (required)

    vpn_password : "password"

  • vpn_routing: You can define one or more subnets and gateway

    vpn_routing:
- subnet   : "10.224.24.00/22"
 gateway  : "10.55.55.4"
- subnet   : "192.168.55.0/32"
 gateway  : "10.55.55.4"

##Configure You can configure your variables in ansible with one of the following

  • Create a variable in host/group variables directory. (recommended)
  • Editing var/main.yml
  • Run ansible-playbook with -e
  • Edit the default/main.yml (not recommended)

##Run By default the vpn will fail because the configuration uses a bogus vpn server you need to use a valid vpn server

ansible-playbook -l hostname l2to_ipsec.yml

##Test

  1. you should have a ppp0 if you type ip addr show
  2. you should be able to ping your vpn gateway

##Possible issues I have not tested the playbook long enough to check for timeouts but vpn will probably break after a while.
