Category:FireBrick IPsec Road Warrior

The FireBrick manual goes into some detail on configuring IPsec. These pages below contain specific examples for a simple scenario where you have one or more clients devices - iPhones iPads, Android phones/tablets or Windows machines, and a FireBrick in your home or office, and you would like to VPN (using IPsec) to the FireBrick and have an IP address on your LAN.

First, create certificates and the FireBrick config, then look at the pages for the device you are wanting to configure
