VyOS

This tutorial provides configuration information and a sample template for using a VyOS device with an IPsec configuration.

Notes

vti <NAME_OF_VTI_INTERFACE> - Specifies the virtual tunnel interface of the IPsec tunnel.
esp-group <NAME_OF_ESP_GROUP> - Encrypts traffic through the tunnel using a particular ESP policy or profile.
ike-group <NAME_OF_IKE_GROUP> - Exchanges keys using a particular IKE policy or profile.
The IP addresses of the IPsec tunnel interfaces on both ends of the tunnel should be a pair of private IP addresses (RFC 1918) on the same /31 or /30 subnet, specifying a point-to-point link.
The IPsec tunnel endpoint on this VyOS router is the <IP_ADDR_OF_UPLINK_INTF_TO_INTERNET/WAN>.
The IP address of the IPsec tunnel endpoint on the Cloudflare side is one of the anycast IP addresses assigned to your account, available in Leased IPs ↗.
This router is configured to initiate the IPsec tunnel connection.
