Ask HN: Where can I go to become a VPN configuration ninja?
I have lots of time (months) to learn/study, where do I go to learn the ins and outs of VPNs? IPsec, IKEv2, Phase1 v Phase2, BGP, ASN, overall structure of protocol session from first handshake to final goodbye? Firewall implications?
Preferably not solutions that cost more than $10.
Thanks in advance!
- kalev 4y agoCreate two droplets on for example DigitalOcean and try to create a VPN between them. You’ll learn most by just doing.

- kkielhofner 4y agoFor BGP and ASNs you can simulate a full route table and play: http://networkingbodges.blogspot.com/2019/04/a-real-full-int http://networkingbodges.blogspot.com/2019/04/a-real-full-int... That article uses bird but I prefer VyOS in a VM: https://vyos.io/ https://vyos.io/
