QUICK HOWTO FOR DEBIAN USER
0. Install necessary helper programs
needed to use the chaosvpn client:
# apt-get install iproute
needed to compile the chaosvpn-client if not using a precreated debian package for it:
# apt-get install build-essential debhelper devscripts git-core libcurl4-openssl-dev
1. Install tinc
# apt-get install tinc
Either the package from Debian unstable, or my lenny backport of http://debian.sdinet.de/lenny/sdinet/tinc/
This should be at least version 1.0.10.
Or visit http://tinc.nl.linux.org/, download and build yourself - at a minimum ./configure, specify the parameter --sysconfdir=/etc, and check the binary in the script
If the tinc installation gives the following error:
> ./MAKEDEV: don't know how to make device "tun"
Then create the device by hand:
# mkdir -p /dev/net # mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200 # chown root:root /dev/net/tun # chmod 600 /dev/net/tun
2. Create config directory
# mkdir -p /etc/tinc/chaos
3. Generate keys
# tincd -n chaos --generate-keys=2048
and press return a few times...
4. Devise a network-nick
This is the name of the network endpoints/gatewways, not necessarily the users, it may even be more gateways per user.
Used below where <nodename> is.
5. Hostname
The gateway may have a DynDNS (or similar) hostname pointing to a dynamic IP, or a static hostname/fixed IP.
Used below where <clienthost> is.
6. Mail haegar@ccc.de the info
I need the following info:
[<nodename>] gatewayhost=<clienthost> This should be the external name or ip address of the client host, not a VPN address. If the client is not reachable over the internet leave it out and set hidden=1 below. network=<ipv4 subnet in the vpn> network6=<ipv6 subnet in the vpn> this may be more than one, IPv4 or IPv6
These subnets must be unique in our vpn, simply renumber your home network (or use something like NETMAP) with a network block that is still free.
Please use the list of assigned networks on ChaosVPN, and add yourself there.
owner= Admin of the VPN gateway, with email address - a way to contact the responsible person in case of problems with your network link.
key rsa-public-key - contents of /etc/tinc/chaos/rsa_key.pub
optional the following details:
use-tcp-only=1 "I don't do udp, we only use suboptimal tcp"
hidden=1 "I cannot accept inbound tunnel connections, I can only connect out." (e.g. behind a NAT)
silent=1 "I cannot connect out, but you can connect to me."
7. Awaiting Response
8. goto 6 unless $success
9. chaosvpn-client download and compile
- TODO: THIS PART NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED **
# git checkout git://github.com/ryd/chaosvpn.git # cd chaosvpn
way 1: just compile and install:
# make # sudo make install
way 2: create debian package and install this:
# debuild Answer the "This package has a Debian revision number but there does not seem to be an appropriate original tar file or .orig directory in the parent directory" with "y" # sudo dpkg -i ../chaosvpn_2.0*.deb install the generated package file, replace filename above with real name.
10. Customize configfile
/etc/tinc/chaosvpn.conf
In the top part are the variables.
11. script in /etc/ppp/ip-up to autostart, or to restart from time to time via cron
and with luck, it will function beautifully! ;)
todo:
tons ;)
test in particular, and adjust docs for other linux distros, and perhaps even with *bsd
