I am working on a solution for security in my house based on an IPSec tunnel. This is partially based on a NSA capability package document re using commercial off-the-shelf encryption techniques for separation of security domains. The idea was interesting enough to try and replicate as part of my home VPN interconnections.
I have been reviewing a number of different posts to get this working, see here, here, and here. Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) is a protocol suite for secure Internet Protocol (IP) communications by authenticating and encrypting each IP packet of a communication session. The major contender package is StrongSwan rather than OpenVPN which does not support IPSec.
This is a blog mostly about techie things, what I am doing to my apartment network on the cheap, IOT, 3D Printing, Raspberry Pis, Arduinos, ESP32, ESP8266, Home Automation, Personal Weather Stations, Things That Go Bump in the Night, and some side issues that need discussing. Remember, sometimes the journey to an end is as much fun as the goal achieved!
