IPsec/L2TP cookbook for Chef

Installs and configures OpenSwan/xl2tpd VPN.

Requirements

• sysctl cookbook from vpslab/sysctl-cookbook

Configuration

You have to configure the psk parameter (this is the pre-shared key for the VPN). Defining dns servers is also a good idea. Network/netmask values are sane defaults.

default['vpn'] = {
  'psk'     => nil,
  'dns'     => [],
  'network' => '192.168.5.0',
  'netmask' => '255.255.255.0'
}
