L2TP/IPSEC VPN with built-in Duo support

Primary LanguagePython

What it does

This repo helps you create an AMI image that offers a simple IPSEC/L2TP VPN server. Username and password will be checked against Foxpass (which in-turn syncs with Google Apps) and optionally against Duo or Okta for two-factor authentication (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED). NOTE: If you use emails for your Duo requests instead of usernames, you must enable username normalization. You can find more info about that setting here. If you use Okta instead, Foxpass requires credentials with at least Group Admin privileges in order to check the 2FA API endpoint with Okta.

Note that you don't have to build it. We have ready-to-go, free-of-charge AMIs on the AWS Marketplace.

How to build it

  • Clone this repo
  • init and update the submodules:
    • git submodule init
    • git submodule update
  • Download and install Hashicorp's Packer (http://packer.io)
  • Put your AWS access key and secret key someplace that Packer can find them.
  • set your region and base AMI (currently designed for Ubuntu 20.04 base images) in foxpass_vpn.json
  • run packer build foxpass_vpn.json

for Google Cloud Platform :

  • Get account file JSON if not building on a GCE instance as described here
  • populate config variables via command line or variable file (docs)
  • run packer build gcp_foxpass_vpn.json

How to run it

  • Instantiate an image with the resulting AMI

    • Make sure it has a public IP address
    • Make sure it is in a security group with the following inbound rules:
      • UDP 500
      • UDP 4500
      • TCP 22 to your IP (for SSH management)
    • (optional, see below) for AWS: setup script can pull config from S3. Set role and user-data as described below.
  • When the instance comes up

    ssh ubuntu@<hostname-or-ip>
    sudo /opt/foxpass-vpn/config.py
    
  • To automatically pull config from S3 (optional)

    • Set EC2 user-data to
     #!/bin/bash
     sudo /opt/foxpass-vpn/config.py s3://bucket-name/path/to/config.json
    

    This will run the config script on startup, you will not need to run the config script manually.

    • Set EC2 role to a role in IAM that has ListBucket and GetObject permissions (GetObjectVersion, too, if your bucket has versioning enabled) to the above-mentioned bucket and path in S3. (Only required if you choose to automatically pull your config from S3.)
    • Upload the config file with the following format (mfa_type, duo_config, okta_config, and require_groups are optional):
    {
     "psk": "MAKE_UP_A_SECURE_SHARED_KEY",
     "dns_primary": "8.8.8.8",
     "dns_secondary": "8.8.4.4",
     "l2tp_cidr": "10.11.12.0/24",
     "xauth_cidr": "10.11.13.0/24",
     "foxpass_api_key": "PUT_YOUR_FOXPASS_API_KEY_HERE",
     "mfa_type": "duo_OR_okta",
     "duo_config": {"api_host": "API_HOST_FROM_DUO", "skey": "SKEY_FROM_DUO", "ikey": "IKEY_FROM_DUO"},
     "okta_config": {"hostname": "OKTA_HOSTNAME", "apikey": "OKTA_APIKEY"},
     "require_groups": ["group_1", "group_2"] <- optionally requires user to be a member of one of the listed groups
    }

Pull requests welcome!

  • templates/ are the configuration templates that will be updated by the config.py script.
  • scripts/ include the config.py script and the static configuration files that need to be installed.
  • foxpass-radius-agent/ is a submodule (See here) that contains a radius agent that connects L2TP to Foxpass and Duo authentication APIs.
