Topic: StrongSwan 4.3 ikev2 (ipsec) - howto install

The content of this topic has been archived on 18 Apr 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

I'm planning on using strongSwan in combination with OpenWrt. I'm wondering if there are more enthusiasts who wish to participate.

This first post will be updated as a howto - as work progresses.

Here is what I've got until now.

== why strongSwan 4.3 with OpenWrt ==
* Openswan for 2.4 reported broken
* Openswan does not support IKEv2 and MOBIKE (bit outdated comparison though)
* strongSwan supporting 2.4 kernels (version 2.8) only support IKEv1, not IKEv2. Version 4.3 support IKEv1 and IKEv2.
* dd-wrt does do IPSec, as they favor OpenVPN
* IPSec allows for routing rules after it has passed the initial firewall. OpenVPN allows for (unristricted) access to the network behind the router.

== general info ==
* IKEv2 / strongswan 4.3 does not work with kernel 2.4
* Broadcom wifi currently not supported by stable kamikaze (8.09.1), however it is supported in trunk. You might need to configure it right; see here and here

== usefull links and guides ==
* this thread focusses on the installation of strongSwan in openwrt, check Building your own OpenWrt guide: http://nuwiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/buildroot and/or http://kamikaze.openwrt.org/docs/openwrt.html for a general howto on compiling openwrt.
[s]* MIPSEL binaries available from debian package repository, dependencies are included http://packages.debian.org/sid/libstrongswan. Apparently opkg can handle these .deb files. However,  "There may be issues with some packages, concerning preinst and postinst scripts". Haven't checked it yet.[/s] Trying to install these packages gives the error: "Packages were found, but none compatible with the architerctures configured". I tried the mips and mipsel package. Guess we need to (cross)compile after all.
* x-wrt plugin? http://wiki.strongswan.org/wiki/1/IpsecXWRT


== systems ==
tested on Linksys WRT54GS 1.1

Step 1 -- Installing the build environment

! Building your own firmware you need to have access to a Linux, BSD or MacOSX system. !

Follow the 'Building your own OpenWrt guide': http://nuwiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/buildroot / https://dev.openwrt.org/wiki/GetSource
in short:

1.1 open a console and run

svn co svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/trunk/

this will create a trunk directory in the dir you ran the command in.

1.2 go into the trunk dir

cd trunk

1.3 You need to have installed gcc, binutils, patch, bzip2, flex, bison, make, gettext, pkg-config, unzip, libz-dev and libc headers.
The build-system checks for the requirements and print what's missing on your system. Then install the packages.
To manually check the prerequisites run

make prereq

Step 2 -- download the strongSwan package

2.1 download it from https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/2538
for the trunk version this can be done using the following command. Please check above url for a possible update to this.

cd package
wget --no-check-certificate https://dev.openwrt.org/raw-attachment/ticket/2538/strongswan-4.2.17.1.tar

2.2 untar the file, as you are allready in the package directory it will untar into the right place.

tar -xvvf strongswan-4.2.17.1.tar
cd ..

2.3 If you did not already untar the strongSwan package into the trunk/package directory, copy or link the untarred directory into your trunk/package dir. replace ~ with your installdir, in my case my home.

mv package_strongswan-4.2.17.1 ~/trunk/package

2.4 runnnig make menuconfig will now include the strongswan option under the network section providing that you have selected a 2.6 kernel build.

Step 3 -- do some scripts magic

/todo package options, see Norberts post below

scripts/feeds update
scripts/feeds install libgmp
scripts/feeds install strace
scripts/feeds install openssl

Notes:
* If you want Eliptic Curve Cryptography you need to remove the no-ec options in trunk/package/openssl/Makefile
You can edit the makefile using any editor.
* I edited the package-strongswan-4.2.17.1 Makefile and Config.in to allow selection of openssl.
Add in Config.in:

# --enable-openssl >> Requires libcrypto.so.0.9.8.
config STRONGSWAN_ENABLE_OPENSSL
        bool
        prompt "Enable the OpenSSL crypto plugin."
        default y
        select PACKAGE_libopenssl
        help
                Enables the OpenSSL crypto plugin (default Yes).
                StrongSwan: enable the OpenSSL crypto plugin [ no ]. Requires libcrypto.so.0.9.8.

Add in Makefile allong with the other similar lines:

  $(if $(CONFIG_STRONGSWAN_ENABLE_OPENSSL),--enable-openssl) \

I also changed the urandom config part in in the Makefile to the following:

$(if $(CONFIG_STRONGSWAN_WITH_URANDOM_DEVICE),--with-urandom-device=$(CONFIG_STRONGSWAN_DEVICE_URANDOM)) \

Step 4 -- configure your build

make menuconfig

select the right package (i.e. 2.6 kernel).

Step 5 -- compile
Run the command

make

Grab a cup of coffee, this will take a while... Especially the first time or after a 'make clean'. The complete build takes about 1 to 2 hours on a 2.8GHZz Celeron machine and about 20 minutes using one core2duo 6600 @2.4GHz (using a single core). Using both cores -- 'make -j 3' -- breakes on some packages, though several minutes can be gained by using 'make -j 3 || make'

Step 6 -- flash your WRT device.
The trunk/bin directory now contains several .bin files and a .trx file.

If you have not before installed an open source wrt on you device use the corresponding .bin file.
If you previously installed an open source wrt, you can use the trx file.
The bin file is basically the trx file with extra headers so that your device with oem software will run them.

You can also run the command from promt; first download the image using wget, then install using mtd.
wget img-url -O /tmp/firware.trx
mtd -r write /tmp/firmware.trx linux

Step 7 -- installing strongSwan
You now have compiled and installed openWRT, yet you still need to install the strongSwan package.

The /trunk/bin/packages now contains a directory (in my case 'brcm47xx_uClibc-0.9.30.1') containing compiled packages.
7.1 You can copy these to your device and run then --
/todo howto

7.1 You can also copy this directory to a webserver (this was easier in my case) and add a rule to /etc/opkg.conf pointing at your server/path/to/directory/with/packages e.g., www.someserver.eu/openwrt/mypackages
you can easily append a line to opkg.conf by opening a console to youre device

echo src/gz MyWRT http://www.someserver.eu/openwrt/mypackages >> /etc/opkg.conf
opkg update

7.2 now install the packages

opkg install libgmp
opkg install kmod-crypto-*
opkg install kmod-ipsec*
opkg install strongswan

Which in my case came down to:

opkg install libopenssl
opkg install libgmp
opkg install kmod-crypto-aes
opkg install kmod-crypto-arc4
opkg install kmod-crypto-authenc
opkg install kmod-crypto-core
opkg install kmod-crypto-des
opkg install kmod-crypto-hmac
opkg install kmod-crypto-md5
opkg install kmod-crypto-misc
opkg install kmod-crypto-sha1
opkg install kmod-ipsec
opkg install kmod-ipsec4
opkg install strongswan

where libgmp and kmod-crypto-misc can be ommited when not enabled.


To enable a gui on the router either install luci or webif²

opkg install luci-admin-full
opkg install luci-theme-openwrt

or

opkg install webif

Does StrongSwan support manual keys, ie, not through IKE? I know manual keying is a security risk but for some reason people still want to do it.

If so I would be delighted to help out with this project.

I'm not sure I follow. By manual keys, do you mean x.509 certificates, RSA keys or perhaps even username+password?

Googling showed that FreeS/WAN supports it, and strongSwan is based on the discontinued FreeS/WAN, so I would recon so...

Perhaps you should try it out first on a regular unix computer, distributions are available for debian, openSUSE, ubuntu en gentoo. Making installation a piece of cake compared to setting it up on a WRT device.

I'll try it out on my own machine. For IPsec there are two keying methods: Manual and IKE. IKE is what most people use, also known as automatic keying. IKE ensures that the keying is encrypted itself, though IKE tends to send lots of data through the tunnels at given intervals which on large networks can start to be quite "chatty." Manual keying doesn't use IKE... think static IP instead of DHCP. The keying isn't encrypted so potentially when the tunnels are being established someone could grab your encryption hashes and just decrypt all traffic through the tunnel. Pretty low chance though.

Looks very promising!

compiling it now.

Took me some time to figure out, butt here is a mini how-to.
1. follow the link above, download the appropriate package tar.
2. checkout the version you wish to compile. (see https://dev.openwrt.org/wiki/GetSource)
3. untar the package under step 1 into the checkoutdir/package folder
4. run make menuconfig from the checkoutdir folder, select 2.6 kernel.
--skip-able
5. It now is available under section 'network.', where you can change several compile options.
--end skip-able ---
5. run make from the checkoutdir folder.

<< 6. Get it to compile without errors >>
<< 7. figure out how-to install to device >>

Cannot seem to get it to compile, apparently GMP is missing.

tried installing it using.
sudo apt-get install gmp-devel
sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev

using the kamikaze checkout, with no alternations than described above.

Insights are greatly appreciated.

Think easy - its OpenWRT and not your local system...

1) https://dev.openwrt.org/wiki/GetSource:
svn co svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/branches/8.09
or use the trunk

2) i moved trunk to openwrt_trunk_brcm47xx

3) set up feeds.conf:
src-svn packages svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/packages
src-svn luci http://svn.luci.subsignal.org/luci/bran … ib/package

4) my additionally packages - only libgmp and strace are important:
scripts/feeds update
scripts/feeds install nano
scripts/feeds install ntpclient
scripts/feeds install usbutils
scripts/feeds install pciutils
scripts/feeds install speedtouch-usb-firmware
scripts/feeds install fetchmail
scripts/feeds install ssmtp
scripts/feeds install atftp
scripts/feeds install ddns-scripts
scripts/feeds install maradns
scripts/feeds install openntpd
scripts/feeds install strace
scripts/feeds install libgmp
scripts/feeds install libmysqlclient
scripts/feeds install libpq
scripts/feeds install libsqlite2
scripts/feeds install bluez-libs
scripts/feeds install uclibcxx
scripts/feeds install libspeex
scripts/feeds install libcurl
scripts/feeds install libxml2
scripts/feeds install libnetsnmp
scripts/feeds install ethtool
scripts/feeds install vnstat

scripts/feeds install libpopt

scripts/feeds install luci-httpd
scripts/feeds install luci-http
scripts/feeds install luci-core
scripts/feeds install luci-i18n-english
scripts/feeds install luci-i18n-german
scripts/feeds install luci-theme-openwrt
scripts/feeds install luci-admin-full
scripts/feeds install luci-app-ddns
scripts/feeds install luci-app-firewall
scripts/feeds install luci-app-initmgr
scripts/feeds install luci-app-ntpc
scripts/feeds install luci-app-qos

5) copy or better link strongswan in the package folder

6) configure and build image with your settings

Thanks! that really helped. Doing some compile runs now, it looks that the following commands do the trick for me

scripts/feeds update
scripts/feeds install libgmp
scripts/feeds install strace

Next up, figuring out how not to brick my wrt. I suppose that I cannot simply install the latest snapshot and install the strongSwan package I compiled  on that?

*edit
It turns out that you do not need libgmp if you select the option 'disable own gmp implementation'.
I have not determined whether this can also be done when the 'enable openssl plugin' is not selected. Of course scripts/feeds install openssl is required when using the openssl library.

*edit
Taken from http://gmplib.org/:

GMP is a free library for arbitrary precision arithmetic, operating on signed integers, rational numbers, and floating point numbers. There is no practical limit to the precision except the ones implied by the available memory in the machine GMP runs on. GMP has a rich set of functions, and the functions have a regular interface.

The main target applications for GMP are cryptography applications and research, Internet security applications, algebra systems, computational algebra research, etc.

GMP is carefully designed to be as fast as possible, both for small operands and for huge operands. The speed is achieved by using fullwords as the basic arithmetic type, by using fast algorithms, with highly optimised assembly code for the most common inner loops for a lot of CPUs, and by a general emphasis on speed.

GMP is faster than any other bignum library. The advantage for GMP increases with the operand sizes for many operations, since GMP uses asymptotically faster algorithms.

It relates to strongswan as strongswan uses the libgmp plugin for cryptographic computations. As openssl does not link to libgmp (due to licensing issues) it stands to reason to either user openssl or libgmp. So if you don't use openssl, do not disable libgmp!

According to the autoconf options for strongswan 4.3.* only EAP AKA 3GPP2 requires libgmp, which is disabled by default. So you can disable the libgmp pluging when you use openssl and do not use 3GPP2.

Better use <trunk>/bin/openwrt-wrt54gs-squashfs.bin

You should have a serial console to what happen on the router. If the image is working, copy the packages libgmp, kmod-crypt*, kmod-ipsec* and strongswan to the router and install all. opkg -test install strongswan-??.ipk shows the needed packages.

seems to install properly...

you did not by chance include a GUI for setting up IPsec did you? (that would really make my day, which btw you already did wink)
perhaps some inspiration: http://wiki.strongswan.org/wiki/1/IpsecXWRT

I'm gonna figure out how IPsec is configured first thing tomorrow. Perhaps even try to make a x-wrt install out of all of the above.

Beus

trying to get the hang of IPsec/strongSwan, found http://wiki.strongswan.org/wiki/strongs … umentation to be useful.

However, was wondering if the following is how it should be:

root@OpenWrt:/# ipsec start

Extra info:

Well this looks good big_smile, it has aes, sha2, x509, pubkey and hmac..

I want to use ECDH (elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman), but lets take things one step at a time.

Trying to get it to compile with the --enable-openssl option for ECC, however I seem to run into a problem.

checking for main in -lcrypto... no
configure: error: OpenSSL crypto library not found
make[3]: *** [/home/beus/openwrt/trunk-4.2.17.3/build_dir/target-mipsel_uClibc-0.9.30.1/strongswan-4.2.17/.configured_] Error 1

I traced it to come Config.in file that contains:

if test x$openssl = xtrue; then

      AC_HAVE_LIBRARY([crypto],[LIBS="$LIBS"],[AC_MSG_ERROR([OpenSSL crypto library not found])])

      AC_CHECK_HEADER([openssl/evp.h],,[AC_MSG_ERROR([OpenSSL header openssl/evp.h not found!])])

fi

I have yet to figure out which scripts/feeds install package I need, or which option I need to turn on in make menuconfig.

Did manage to figure out that the default openssl package had ECC disabled.
Enable them by removing the 'no-ec' options in package/openssl/Makefile.

Also if you enable the 'enable the openssl crypto plugin' option in strongSwan (using make menuconfig, I altered the Config.in an Makefile files) you can enable the 'disable own GNU MP (libgmp) based crypto implementation plugin'.

At the time of writing I have no clue which kernel option or package is missing to make this compile work. PACKAGE_libuci is enabled...

*edit
compiling it again after installing package luci-uci results in the following different error:

*edit
http://wiki.strongswan.org/wiki/1/IpsecUci states "Use the configure option --enable-uci. You also need the libuci library and the uci tool."
the libuci library is no problem, the uci tool is what has me looking everywhere... Anyone any idea?
*edit
I might have traced the source of the problem, make reports:

 make[1] world
 make[2] target/compile
 make[3] -C target/linux compile
 make[2] package/cleanup
 make[2] package/compile
 make[3] -C package/base-files compile
...
 make[3] -C package/opkg compile
 make[3] -C /home/beus/openwrt/package_strongswan-4.2.17.1 compile
 make[3] -C package/linux-atm compile
 make[3] -C package/libpcap compile
 make[3] -C package/ppp compile
 make[3] -C package/switch compile
 make[3] -C package/uci compile
 make[3] -C package/udevtrigger compile
 make[2] package/install
 make[3] -C package/base-files install
 make[3] -C package/broadcom-diag install
...

ergo package/uci is compiled after strongswan, so it would be logical for strongSwan not to find the neccessary files.

*edit the solution to this is adding the following line to strongswan's Makefile.

PKG_BUILD_DEPENDS:=libuci

interesing build options obtained here that includes the netmanager. It is interesting because the build options include openssl, and disable several ciphers.

get strongswan SVN
svn co http://www.strongswan.org/ikev2/trunk strongswan
cd strongswan

build charon with OpenSSL/NM Plugin
./autogen.sh
./configure --disable-aes --disable-des --disable-md5 --disable-sha1 --disable-sha2 \
--disable-fips-prf --disable-gmp --disable-stroke --disable-pluto --disable-tools \
--disable-updown --enable-openssl --enable-nm --enable-eap-gtc \
--sysconfdir=/etc --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/lib
make
make install

build NetworkManager's strongsSwan plugin
cd src/charon/plugins/nm/gnome
./autogen.sh --sysconfdir=/etc --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/lib
make
make install

Just wanted to post a little update for me in this thread. I'm using the latest tarball posted by norbert in the ticket above, and it's working GREAT! I really appreciate all the hard work... I prefer strongswan to openswan, and definitely over ipsec-tools & racoon.


My only issue now is that the OpenWRT firewall is very restrictive, which is a good thing. I need to punch some little holes to allow the esp traffic to flow, but I'm not sure which chains to add the rules to. Any help would be greatly appreciated!



Here's what I have so far:

iptables -A input_rule -p esp -s $REMOTE_WAN -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A postrouting_rule -d $REMOTE_SUBNET -j ACCEPT



This seems to work pretty well, but once the traffic is decrypted the firewall likes to drop all the packets originating from the remote subnet, so I added:
iptables -A input_rule -p tcp -s $REMOTE_SUBNET -j ACCEPT


Not sure if that last rule poses any security threats.

Part of my struggles came from wanting the use the curl library. During compilation of strongswan -- or actually during the check before compilation -- an error occurred:

checking for main in -lcurl... no

A solution I found by adding a TARGET_LDFLAGS command in the Makefile.

...
PKG_BUILD_DIR:=$(BUILD_DIR)/$(PKG_NAME)-$(PKG_VERSION)
PKG_INSTALL_DIR:=$(PKG_BUILD_DIR)/ipkg-install

include $(INCLUDE_DIR)/package.mk

TARGET_LDFLAGS+=-Wl,-rpath-link=$(STAGING_DIR)/usr/lib

define Package/strongswan
  SECTION:=net
  CATEGORY:=Network
...

.
thus TARGET_LDFLAGS+=-Wl,-rpath-link=$(STAGING_DIR)/usr/lib did the trick.

I encountered an error when I tried to minimize the footprint. As I do not need ikev1 I tried to disable all that has to do with pluto.

During which I found that
- one can disable pluto without problems
- one can disable tools without problems
- disabling pluto and stroke but not tools gives an error due to some file not found (some tools build upon ikev1).
- disabling pluto, stroke and tools gives an error due to the Makefile. As the install part of the make script refers to ipsec which appears no longer available.

changing the Makefile line

$(CP) $(PKG_INSTALL_DIR)/usr/sbin/ipsec $(1)/usr/sbin

into

$(if $(!CONFIG_STRONGSWAN_STROKE),$(CP) $(PKG_INSTALL_DIR)/usr/sbin/ipsec $(1)/usr/sbin)

did the trick, now it compiles fine. HOWEVER the ipsec command has not been build so you cannot start strongswan using 'ipsec start'. I'm not sure if the uci backend will work...

I've made an init script and UCI config for setting up some basic site-to-site tunnels with StrongSwan:

Try it out! It works for me with a basic router-to-router connection, allowing clients behind one router to communicate clients behind the other via their private IPs.

If you have any feedback/improvements please let me know! OpenWrt needs an IPsec implementation with UCI support pretty badly, IMO. OpenVPN is nice and all but a lot of devices still use IPsec.


edit: I know StrongSwan has UCI integration, but it looks like it's only one tunnel... I wanted to support multiple tunnels so I went with the init script route. If StrongSwan's UCI actually supports multiple tunnels then I suppose my work is unneeded.

did you use the - in progress work - here or the new added package as mentioned in https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/2538#comment:19 ? If the first, try compiling it with the version in the link, perhaps that helps.

I keep getting an error in the Makefile for strongswan. The dump.txt says "Makefile:51: *** missing `endef', unterminated `define'.  Stop."   That's pretty obvious to a programmer, but from looking at it, I can't see the problem.
The lines wrapped, so don't think those are just new lines.
Also, I just found that if I added another "endef" before "define Build/Compile" I do not get the error, but because I do not know what adding "endef" means, my guess is it's not a "fix."  Any ideas?
Update2: Okay, untarring the files again to replace the edited Config.in and Makefile, for the changes suggested by the father of this thread, removed the errors. Is it possible cutting and pasting those changes in  added unseen line endings or something?  They looked normal on screen in nano. These were the changes for openssl and random that were suggested in the tutorial.
