In this tutorial, you will learn how to configure Site-to-Site IPSec VPN on pfSense and Libreswan. IPSec (Internet Protocol Security) is a secured network protocol commonly used on VPNs to create a secured and encrypted communication tunnel between the communicating endpoints through data packet authentication and encryption.

Both pfSense and Libreswan can be configured to establish a site to site IPSec VPN tunnel to enable remote systems to communicate securely. They can be integrated with other commercial tools like Cisco ASA/Fortinet devices to setup secured IPSec VPN tunnel between communicating sites.

Configure Site-to-Site IPSec VPN on pfSense and Libreswan

in order to demonstrate how to configure Site-to-Site IPSec VPN on pfSense and Libreswan, here is our deployment architecture.

NOTE that the IP addresses, 11.22.33.44 and 55.66.77.88 used in this guide are just BOGUS! for the purposes of demonstration. Replace them accordingly!

Configure Site-to-Site IPSec VPN on pfSense and Libreswan

IPSec VPN configurations must match on both peers in order to the tunnel to be established successfully. In that case, below are the configuration settings were using in this particular setup;

IPSec VPN Tunnel between pfSense and Libreswan configurations

Configure IPSec VPN on pfSense on Side A

You can start by configuring the IPSec VPN settings on pfSense on side A.

We extensively explained how to configure IPSec VPN on pfSense in our previous guide. You can check the link below on how to go about this configuration;

Configuring IPSec on pfSense on Side A

This is how our configurations are like;

Configure Site-to-Site IPSec VPN on pfSense and Libreswan

Configure Libreswa IPSec VPN

On the remote end, we are using a Rocky Linux server which acts as a Linux router for the Side B LAN.

Thus, to setup Libreswan for IPSec VPN on Rocky Linux;

  • Run system update;
dnf update
  • Install Libreswan on Rocky Linux
dnf install libreswan
  • Initialize IPSec NSS database;
ipsec initnss
  • Start IPSec;
systemctl enable --now ipsec
  • Open Libreswan ipsec service Firewall
systemctl disable --now firewalld
dnf install iptables-services

for ISAKMP (handling of security associations)

iptables -A INPUT -p udp --dport 500 --j ACCEPT

for NAT-T (handling of IPsec between natted devices)

iptables -A INPUT -p udp --dport 4500 --j ACCEPT

for ESP payload (the encrypted data packets)

iptables -A INPUT -p esp -j ACCEPT
  • Enable IP masquerading on firewalld.
ipset create ipsecvpn hash:net
ipset add ipsecvpn 192.168.0.0/24
ipset add ipsecvpn 172.16.0/24
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE -m set ! --match-set ipsecvpn dst
iptables-save > /etc/sysconfig/iptables
systemctl restart iptables
  • Disable redirects for XFRM/IPsec;
cp /etc/sysctl.d/50-libreswan.conf{,.old}
cat > /etc/sysctl.d/50-libreswan.conf << 'EOL'
net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_redirects = 0
net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_redirects = 0
net.ipv4.conf.default.send_redirects = 0
net.ipv4.conf.default.accept_redirects = 0
net.ipv4.conf.all.send_redirects = 0
net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_redirects = 0
net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter = 0
EOL

sysctl --system
  • Create Libreswan IPSec VPN Configuration. The configurations here must match exactly as what is configured on the remote peer!

Create a backup of the default IPSec configuration file;

mv /etc/ipsec.conf{,.old}

Run the command below to paste our sample configurations into the /etc/ipsec.conf file;

cat > /etc/ipsec.conf << 'EOL'
config setup
        logfile=/var/log/pluto.log

        dpdaction=restart
        auto=start

  • Install pfSense-Libreswan IPSec secrets. This is the PresShared Key (PSK);
echo '55.66.77.88 : PSK "ChangeME"
11.22.33.44 : PSK "ChangeME"' > /etc/ipsec.secrets
  • Next, verify the Libreswan IPSec configuration syntax;
ipsec verify

Sample output;

So what Firewall rules we have in place?

on Side A, pfSense Firewall rules;

On Libreswan CentOS Linux Router firewall rules;

iptables -L -nv
