  1. A connection between the subnets behind the gateways <b>moon</b> and <b>sun</b> is set up.
  2. The authentication is based on <b>X.509 certificates</b> and the <b>kernel-libipsec</b>
  3. plugin is used for userland IPsec ESP encryption. The negotiated encryption and authentication
  4. algorithms are <b>NULL</b> and <b>SHA-256</b>, respectively.<br/>
  5. Just by way of example, <b>NULL</b> encryption is also configured for the IKEv2 connection,

  8. Upon the successful establishment of the IPsec tunnel, an updown script automatically
  9. inserts iptables-based firewall rules that let pass the traffic tunneled via the
  10. <b>ipsec0</b> tun interface. In order to test both tunnel and firewall, client <b>alice</b>
  11. behind gateway <b>moon</b> pings client <b>bob</b> located behind gateway <b>sun</b>.
