A set of automated shell scripts that install and configure a self-hosted IPsec VPN server (IPsec/L2TP, Cisco IPsec, and IKEv2) on Linux using Libreswan and xl2tpd. It includes client configuration generation and helper scripts for managing VPN users and certificates.

Use cases

set up my own ipsec vpn server on a vps
deploy an ikev2 vpn server on ubuntu
self-host a vpn to secure traffic on public wifi
generate vpn profiles for ios and android clients
manage vpn users and certificates from the command line
install a vpn server on raspberry pi

When to choose

you want a fully automated, no-input VPN server install on a supported Linux distro
you need native IPsec/IKEv2 support built into Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android clients
you want helper scripts for user and certificate management without a control panel

When to avoid

you prefer WireGuard or OpenVPN instead of IPsec protocols
you need a GUI management dashboard or multi-node VPN orchestration
your server runs an unsupported OS or a managed environment where kernel modules/IPsec are restricted
