Anatiferous blog | Move every zig.

Howdy! This is my (William Reading's) webpage. At the moment, I only have this blog script and my gallery up, but I hope to get more stuff on this page at some point, or so I thought when I created this site years ago. Updates and shiny new copy to eventually go here. If you'd like to contact me to point out that I've done something to break XHTML/CSS standards or heaven forbid--look at my Vita--drop me a line at my e-mail address bill +spam @ [ELEPHANT] aggienerds.org. Simply remove "+spam", the spaces and the pachyderm along with its brackets and that address will reach me. I'm also available on Jabber/GChat/AIM/MSN with the same address above.

I decided that it would be nice if my local network was automagically VPN’d to campus, so I worked out a configuration for the TAMU VPN server using IOS ezvpn (This is on a Cisco 1721 with hardware acceleration module, which has the ADSL WIC). The relevant bits looks something like this on my router:

crypto ipsec client ezvpn tamuvpn
connect auto
group tamu key tamuvpn
local-address BVI1
mode client
peer 165.91.140.250
virtual-interface 1
username your_netid password your_netid_password
xauth userid mode local
!
interface Virtual-Template1 type tunnel
no ip address
ip virtual-reassembly
!
interface BVI1
–snip–
crypto ipsec client ezvpn tamuvpn
!
interface FastEthernet0
–snip–
crypto ipsec client ezvpn tamuvpn inside


For the paranoid, the tunnel may be configured to only come up when you type in your username and password and save nothing. BVI1 is the bridge interface corresponding with the DSL WIC. If you’re doing this purely with ethernet, substitute BVI1 for your nat outside or the like, e.g. FastEthernet1.
