The vpe config file consists of a series of lines that contain \f(CW\*(C`variable |

|
|
= value\*(C'\fR pairs. Empty lines are ignored. Comments start with a \f(CW\*(C`#\*(C'\fR and |
| 162 |
|
|
extend to the end of the line. They can be used on their own lines, or |
| 163 |
|
|
after any directives. Spaces are allowed before or after the \f(CW\*(C`=\*(C'\fR sign or |
| 164 |
|

.IX Header "ANATOMY OF A CONFIG FILE" |
| 180 |
|
|
Usually, a config file starts with global settings (like the udp port to |
| 181 |
|
|
listen on), followed by node-specific sections that begin with a \f(CW\*(C`node = |
| 182 |
|
|
nickname\*(C'\fR line. |
| 183 |
|
|
.PP |
| 184 |
|
|
Every node that is part of the network must have a section that starts |
| 185 |
|
|
with \f(CW\*(C`node = nickname\*(C'\fR. The number and order of the nodes is important |
| 186 |
|
|
and must be the same on all hosts. It is not uncommon for node sections to |
| 187 |
|
|
be completely empty \- if the default values are right. |
| 188 |
|
|
.PP |
| 189 |
|
|
Node-specific settings can be used at any time. If used before the first |
| 190 |
|
|
node section they will set the default values for all following nodes. |

.IX Subsection "GLOBAL SETTINGS" |
| 195 |
|
|
Global settings will affect the behaviour of the running vped daemon, that |
| 196 |
|
|
is, they are in some sense node-specific (config files can set different |
| 197 |
|
|
values on different nodes using \f(CW\*(C`on\*(C'\fR), but will affect the behaviour of |
| 198 |
|
|
the vped daemon and all connections it creates. |

| 200 |
|
|
.IX Item "loglevel = noise|trace|debug|info|notice|warn|error|critical" |
| 201 |
|
|
Set the logging level. Connection established messages are logged at level |
| 202 |
|
|
\&\f(CW\*(C`info\*(C'\fR, notable errors are logged with \f(CW\*(C`error\*(C'\fR. Default is \f(CW\*(C`info\*(C'\fR. |
| 203 |
|
|
.IP "node = nickname" 4 |
| 204 |
|
|
.IX Item "node = nickname" |
| 205 |
|
|
Not really a config setting but introduces a node section. The nickname is |
| 206 |
|
|
used to select the right configuration section and must be passed as an |
| 207 |
|
|
argument to the vped daemon. |

|
.IP "private-key = relative-path-to-key" 4 |
| 209 |
|
|
.IX Item "private-key = relative-path-to-key" |
| 210 |
|
|
Sets the path (relative to the config directory) to the private key |
| 211 |
|
|
(default: \f(CW\*(C`hostkey\*(C'\fR). This is a printf format string so every \f(CW\*(C`%\*(C'\fR must |
| 212 |
|
|
be doubled. A single \f(CW%s\fR is replaced by the hostname, so you could |
| 213 |
|
|
use paths like \f(CW\*(C`hostkeys/%s\*(C'\fR to fetch the files at the location where |
| 214 |
|
|
\&\f(CW\*(C`vpectrl\*(C'\fR puts them. |
| 215 |
|
|
.Sp |
| 216 |
|
|
Since only the private key file of the current node is used and the |
| 217 |
|
|
private key file should be kept secret per-host to avoid spoofings, it is |
| 218 |
|
|
not recommended to use this feature. |

|
|
.IX Item "ifpersist = yes|true|on | no|false|off" |
| 221 |
pcg |
1.2 |
Should the tun/tap device be made persistent, that is, should the device |
| 222 |
|
|
stay up even when vped exits? Some versions of the tunnel device have |
| 223 |
|
|
problems sending packets when vped is restarted in persistent mode, so |
| 224 |
|
|
if the connections can be established but you cannot send packets from |
| 225 |
|
|
the local node, try to set this to \f(CW\*(C`off\*(C'\fR and do an ifconfig down on the |
| 226 |
|
|
device. |
| 227 |
|
|
.IP "ifname = devname" 4 |
| 228 |
|
|
.IX Item "ifname = devname" |
| 229 |
|
|
Sets the tun interface name to the given name. The default is OS-specific |
| 230 |
|
|
and most probably something like \f(CW\*(C`tun0\*(C'\fR. |
| 231 |
|
|
.IP "rekey = seconds" 4 |
| 232 |
|
|
.IX Item "rekey = seconds" |
| 233 |
|
|
Sets the rekeying interval in seconds (default: \f(CW3600\fR). Connections are |
| 234 |
|
|
reestablished every \f(CW\*(C`rekey\*(C'\fR seconds. |
| 235 |
|
|
.IP "keepalive = seconds" 4 |
| 236 |
|
|
.IX Item "keepalive = seconds" |
| 237 |
|
|
Sets the keepalive probe interval in seconds (default: \f(CW60\fR). After this |
| 238 |
|
|
many seconds of inactivity the daemon will start to send keepalive probe |
| 239 |
|
|
every 5 seconds until it receives a reply from the other end. If no reply |
| 240 |
|
|
is received within 30 seconds, the peer is considered unreachable and the |
| 241 |
|
|
connection is closed. |
| 242 |
|
|
.IP "mtu = bytes" 4 |
| 243 |
|
|
.IX Item "mtu = bytes" |
| 244 |
|
|
Sets the maximum \s-1MTU\s0 that should be used on outgoing packets (basically |
| 245 |
|
|
the \s-1MTU\s0 of the outgoing interface) The daemon will automatically calculate |
| 246 |
|
|
maximum overhead (e.g. udp header size, encryption blocksize...) and pass |
| 247 |
|
|
this information to the \f(CW\*(C`if\-up\*(C'\fR script. |
| 248 |
|
|
.Sp |
| 249 |
|
|
Recommended values are 1500 (ethernet), 1492 (pppoe), 1472 (pptp). |
| 250 |
|
|
.Sp |
| 251 |
|
|
This value must be the minimum of the mtu values of all hosts. |

.IP "ip-proto = numerical-ip-protocol" 4 |
| 253 |
|
|
.IX Item "ip-proto = numerical-ip-protocol" |
| 254 |
|
|
Sets the protocol number to be used for the rawip protocol. This is a |
| 255 |
|
|
global option because all hosts must use the same protocol, and since |
| 256 |
|
|
there are no port numbers, you cannot easily run more than one vped |
| 257 |
|
|
instance using the same protocol, nor can you share the protocol with |
| 258 |
|
|
other programs. |
| 259 |
|
|
.Sp |
| 260 |
|
|
The default is 47 (\s-1GRE\s0), which has a good chance of tunneling through |
| 261 |
|
|
firewalls (but note that the rawip protocol is not \s-1GRE\s0 compatible). Other |
| 262 |
|
|
common choices are 50 (\s-1IPSEC\s0, \s-1ESP\s0), 51 (\s-1IPSEC\s0, \s-1AH\s0), 4 (\s-1IPIP\s0 tunnels) or 98 |

|
environment variables are passed to it (the values are just examples): |

Please note that vpe will still try to resolve all hostnames in the |

To make best use of this option disable all protocols except tcp in your |
