| Post subject: | IPSec VPN client on Linode |
Hi, Is it possible to run a VPN client using IPSec (Openswan -?) on Linode instance to connect to a remote VPN gateway through a Shared Secret? Basically I need to establish a secure VPN connection between our cloud instance (Linode in this case) and a mobile operators network using shared secret over IPSec. The VPN server on the mobile operator's network is Juniper, so my questions are: 1. Is it possible to achieve on Linode? 2. Is it as straightforward as downloading/installing Openswan, configure the ipsec.conf and ipsec.secrets and then Start the IPSec service? 3. Can this be achieved with OpenVPN (low on preference though)? I am in urgent need to solve this crisis as soon as possible, would really really appreciate a response on this. Thanks a ton in advance, Rahul |

Can we configure public IPs to send out traffic to remote nodes? Reason for asking this is if Linode NATs the IPs through different boxes? Because if that happens then it would not be possible to run VPN client through public IP. |

There's no NAT going on. You've got a publicly routable IP. |
