IPsec VPN Setup & Guide 2025
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
I have a freshly installed Ubuntu server with sudo SSH access and the remote-site parameters ready. I need the first site-to-site IPsec tunnel brought online so our internal systems can be reached securely.
Scope for this initial phase is intentionally lean:
• Install and configure an IPsec ) using IKE.
• Hand over a concise Word document that lists every command, configuration file, and the final tunnel settings so my engineer can reproduce the steps.
• Walk my engineer through the process in a brief screen-share or chat session; we coordinate in our existing Skype group.
I value clear explanations and reproducible steps more than elaborate hardening at this stage, so keep the setup straightforward—standard AES/SHA defaults are fine unless you recommend otherwise.
If you’re comfortable working live over SSH, documenting as you go, and offering a quick knowledge-transfer call, I’d like to get started right away.
