Comment on Connecting to a L2TP/IPSec VPN from Ubuntu desktop by bijan

bijan — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 06:45:34 +0000

hello,
nice post but i have a problem. i am behind NAT (like many others) and on vpn server (WinServer2003) i limited to a static ip address (like: 192.168.255.12). but with this method, vpn connection tries to connect with the ip address of my local network (192.168.2.4)!!

so consequently, connection will fail!
how could i set a manual ip address to connect with?

Bugreport (including fix!)

Clicking on the button “View Rule” always yields an error. Here is how to fix that:
1) Edit /var/www/snorby/config/snorby_config.yml, Change “production” section so it includes the path to the rules: – “/etc/suricata/rules”
2) chmod a+r /etc/suricata/rules/*
3) restart the server if you have trouble with restarting Rails (like me…)

Now the rules are viewable from the dashboard.
Cheers, Maarten

Implemented today. Still trying to find out all the nifty features tho. Thank you for a very nice piece of work, Philip!
A quick note: I too would be very keen to understand how to configure it as a transparent IPS. I have the bridge setup all done, and that works fine. But the ‘dropping packets’ bit leaves me a bit stumped. I’ve read you have to start suricata with ‘-q 0′. When doing that though it reports it hasn’t been compliled with nfqueue support. However that sortof contradicts what Morgan says, above.
Any pointers how to go about it ?
Thanks in advance
Maarten

Hi,

How can i install this .iso file on a Hyper-V machine, I am going to trying installing but in the manual mentioned this .iso file is only for physical machine not VM.

I just tried on a Vmachine but after rebooting it asks for IP address.

So can anybody tell me how do i resolve this issue?

Regards,

Saeed
