    <abstract>
      <para>This document explains how to configure a VPN tunnel
        between FreeBSD and Checkpoint's VPN-1/Firewall-1.
        Other documents provide similar information, but do
        not contain instructions specific to VPN-1/Firewall-1
        and its integration with FreeBSD. These documents are
        listed at the conclusion of this paper for further reference.</para>

    <para>The following is a diagram of the machines and networks
        referenced in this document.</para>

    </programlisting>

    <para>The FreeBSD GW serves as a firewall and NAT device for
      "internal nets."</para>

    <para>The FreeBSD kernel must be compiled to support IPSec.
      Use the following kernel options:

      <programlisting>
        options         IPSEC
        options         IPSEC_ESP
        options         IPSEC_DEBUG
      </programlisting>

    <para>For instructions on building a custom kernel, refer to the
      <ulink url="http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x3663.html">;
      FreeBSD handbook</ulink>. Please note that IP protocol 50 (ESP) and UDP port
      500 must be open between the Firewall-1 host and the FreeBSD GW.</para>

    <para>Also, racoon must be installed to support key exchange.
      Racoon is part of the FreeBSD ports collection in
      <filename>/usr/ports/security/racoon</filename>. The racoon
      configuration file will be covered later in this document.</para>
  </sect1>

  <sect1 id="object">
      <title>Firewall-1 Network Object Configuration</title>

    <para>Begin by configuring the Firewall-1 Policy. Open the
      Policy Editor on the Firewall-1 Management server and create
      a new "Workstation" Network Object representing FreeBSD GW.</para>

    <programlisting>
      General Tab:
               Set name and IP address

      VPN Tab:

      IKE Properties:
               Key Negotiation Encryption Methods:     3DES
               Authenication Method:                   Pre-Shared Secret ---> Edit
    </programlisting>

    <para>Select the Firewall Object and set a pre-shared secret.
      (Don't use our example.)</para>

    <programlisting>
      Support Aggresive Mode:                 Checked
      Supports Subnets:                       Checked
    </programlisting>
   
    <para>After setting the pre-shared secret in the Firewall-1 Network
      Object definition, place this secret in <filename>
      /usr/local/etc/racoon/psk.txt</filename> on FreeBSD GW. The format 
      for <filename>psk.txt</filename> is:

      <programlisting>208.229.100.6          rUac0wtoo?</programlisting>      

  </sect1>

  <sect1 id="rulecfg">
    <title>Firewall-1 VPN Rule Configuration</title>

    <para>Next, create a Firewall-1 rule enabling encryption between
      the FreeBSD GW and the Firewall-1 protected network. In this
      rule, the network services permitted through the VPN must be
      defined.

    <programlisting>
      Source            | Destination        | Service      | Action  | Track
      ------------------------------------------------------------------------
      FreeBSD GW        | FW-1 Protected Net | VPN services | Encrypt | Long
      FW-1 Protected Net| FreeBSD GW         |              |         |
    </programlisting>

    <para>"VPN services" are any services (i.e. telnet, ssh, ntp, etc.)
      remote hosts are permitted to access through the VPN. Use caution
      when permitting services; hosts connecting through a VPN still
      represent a potential security risk. Encrypting the traffic between
      the two networks offers little protection if a host on either side
      of the tunnel has been compromised.</para>

    <para>Once the rule specifying data encryption between the FreeBSD GW
      and the Firewall-1 protected network has been configured, review
      the "Action Encrypt" settings.</para>

    <programlisting>
      Encryption Schemes Defined:     IKE ---> Edit
      Transform:                      Encryption + Data Integrity (ESP)
      Encryption Algorithm:           3DES
      Data Integrity:                 MD5
      Allowed Peer Gateway:           Any or Firewall Object
      Use Perfect Forward Secrecy:    Checked
    </programlisting>

    <para>The use of Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) is optional. Enabling PFS
      will add another layer of encryption security, but does come at the
      cost of increased CPU overhead. If PFS is not used, uncheck the box
      above and comment out the <literal>pfs_group 1</literal> line from 
      <filename>racoon.conf</filename> on FreeBSD GW. An example 
      <filename>racoon.conf</filename> is provided later in this document.</para>

  </sect1>

  <sect1 id="policy">
    <title>FreeBSD VPN Policy Configuration</title>

    <para>At this point, the VPN policy on FreeBSD GW must be defined. The
      <filename>/usr/sbin/setkey</filename> tool performs this function.</para>

    <para>Below is an example shellscript which will flush setkey and add your
      VPN policy rules.</para>

      <title>Starting the VPN</title>

    <para>You are now ready to launch racoon and test the VPN tunnel.
      For debugging purposes, open the Firewall-1 Log Viewer and define
      a log filter to isolate entries pertaining to FreeBSD GW. You may
      also find it helpful to tail the racoon log:</para>

    <screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>tail -f /var/log/racoon.log</userinput></screen>

    <para>Start racoon using the following command:</para>

    <screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>/usr/local/sbin/racoon -f /usr/local/etc/racoon/racoon.conf
    </userinput></screen>

    <para>Once racoon has been launched, telnet to a host on the Firewall-1
      protected network.</para>

    <screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>telnet -s 192.168.10.3 199.208.192.66 22
    </userinput></screen>

    <para>This command attempts to connect to the ssh port on 199.208.192.66,
      a machine in the Firewall-1 protected network. The <literal>-s</literal> switch indicates
      the source interface of the outbound connection. This is particularly important
      when running NAT and IPFW on FreeBSD GW. Using <literal>-s</literal> and specifying an
      explicit source address prevents NAT from mangling the packet prior to tunneling.</para>

    <para>A successful racoon key exchange will output the following to racoon.log:</para>

    <programlisting>
      pfkey UPDATE succeeded: ESP/Tunnel 216.218.197.2->208.229.100.6
      pk_recvupdate(): IPsec-SA established: ESP/Tunnel 216.218.197.2->208.229.100.6
      get pfkey ADD message IPsec-SA established: ESP/Tunnel 208.229.100.6->216.218.197.2
    </programlisting>

    <para>Once key exchange completes (which takes a few seconds), an ssh banner will appear.
      If all went well, two "Key Install" messages will be logged in the Firewall-1 Log Viewer.
    </para>

    <programlisting>
