Streamline Your VPN Server Deployment with IKEv2, IPsec, and Let’s Encrypt
In earlier articles, I discussed the process of creating a VPN application for iOS, focusing on how to establish a connection as a client-based device to a VPN server using the IKEv2/IPsec protocol. However, a crucial aspect that was not covered in those articles was how to effectively initiate an IKEv2 VPN server with EAP-RADIUS authentication and a Let’s Encrypt certificate.
Therefore, in this article, I will share a script that I have previously created to automate the process of setting up a VPN server. I will explain the functions of the script, but I will not delve deeply into the fundamentals of the IKEv2 IPsec setup keys. The script will make it easy for anyone to set up a secure and reliable VPN server on an Ubuntu 18.04 or 20.04 Linux system, even with minimal technical knowledge.
To begin, you can check out the script on my GitHub repository and explore its functionality. You are welcome to contribute by creating pull requests to improve the script’s functionality or by forking it and customizing it to suit your needs. 😉
Please note that this code has not been maintained for two years and the packages used in it may be outdated. It is recommended to check for similar packages and update accordingly before using the script.
