swan, openswan, freeswan, strongswan?

No matter, any tool for setup ipsec

[Juanito]

the strongswan source looks to have the standard configure script and Makefile setup.

You can see the extension making section of the wiki and analagous build scripts/instructions under repo.tinycorelinux.net/7.x/x86/tcz/src for guidance.

Have you had any luck getting strongSwan to work? 

I have compiled the strongSwan source and made an extension from it and it all loads properly.  However, when I try and run "ipsec start", I get an error back saying that the following modules are not found in modules.dep ( ah4, esp4, ipcomp, sfrm4_tunnel, sfrm_user ).  Interestingly, strongSwan.org specifically calls out these modules as required on their website.

I am using Tinycore 8.1.1.1  with the default kernel 4.8.17.  I have tried to manually load the modules, but they are not present on the system.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

All that you listed is built-in to the kernel. (typo on the sfrm, that's xfrm)

[kposhk]

Yes, you are correct on the typo. 

However, I don't believe that these modules are built in.  These modules don't show up via lsmod, modules.dep or anywhere in the system.

One thing that I realize that I forgot to mention is that I am using the "CorePure64-8.1.1.iso" not the the 32bit version.

Maybe these are included in the 32bit versions?   Unfortunately, for my requirements, I am not able to use 32bit.

Thanks

see:

http://tinycorelinux.net/8.x/x86_64/release/src/kernel/config-4.8.17-tinycore64

..for example:

Code: [Select]

CONFIG_INET_AH=y
CONFIG_INET_ESP=y
CONFIG_INET_IPCOMP=y

I see the file that you referenced and it appears that the modules should be there.  However this is what I see when I try to start up strongswan:

Starting strongSwan 5.6.0 IPsec [starter]...
modprobe: module ah4 not found in modules.dep
modprobe: module esp4 not found in modules.dep
modprobe: module ipcomp not found in modules.dep
modprobe: module xfrm4_tunnel not found in modules.dep
modprobe: module xfrm_user not found in modules.dep


This tells me that strongSwan is not able to find these modules.

Any thoughts?

[curaga]

It can't find them as modules, because they are built in. Please ask on their forum, this is a deficiency in their starting script/program.

[kposhk]

At this point, I am attempting to recompile a custom kernel with these modules set to loadable modules rather than built in.  I am also reaching out to strongSwan.org to see if they have any suggestions.

Thanks to those that have helped thus far.
