A shell script that fully automates the installation and configuration of an IPsec/L2TP/IKEv2 VPN server on supported Linux distributions. It also provides helper scripts for managing users and generating client profiles.
Use cases
- Set up an IPsec VPN server on a Linux machine in minutes.
- Create secure remote access for employees or family members.
- Protect internet traffic when using public Wi‑Fi networks.
- Configure IKEv2 VPN profiles for iOS, macOS, Android, and Windows clients.
- Automate VPN user and certificate management without manual edits.
- Deploy a self‑hosted VPN alongside other services like WireGuard or OpenVPN.
When to choose
- You need a self‑hosted IPsec/L2TP/IKEv2 VPN with strong encryption.
- You prefer a fully automated, command‑line based setup without interactive prompts.
- You want support for multiple client platforms (iOS, Android, Windows, Linux).

When to avoid

- Your environment does not allow execution of remote shell scripts.
