About this video

In this video, you will learn how to to build your very own IPsec (Internet Protocol Security) VPN server with IPsec/L2TP, Cisco IPsec and IKEv2. I will specifically be demonstrating the process of setting up an IPsec with IKEv2 VPN server (IKEv2/IPsec protocol). IKEv2 (Internet Key Exchange version 2) is one of the most popular and widely adopted VPN tunnelling protocols for establishing secure and private connections. hwdsl2 has a GitHub repository called setup-ipsec-vpn and we will be using this script to automatically set up an IPsec VPN server. Kamatera will be the virtual private server (VPS) host of choice for this video demo. IPsec is available for Windows, Linux, Android, iOS, and macOS. In this tutorial I will show you how to connect using Windows built In VPN client and StrongSwan for Android.
