Ubiquiti Edgerouter X VPN Setup
-
Calling @JaredBusch and @GregoryHall
-
This is not a clear question.
Do you mean you want to use the ERX as a VPN server for various clients?
-
-
How do you keep them from seeing each other?
-
Does this help?

What does that have to do with anything?

Yes
Then the question becomes how flexible do you want it versus how secure?
I user OpenVPN with certificates, and OpenVPN with authentication at various sites where there is now user interaction with the VPN after i set it up on their device.
If you want something a user can setup by themselves with just a username and password, then you will want to use something like the L2TP method.
I can wrote up instructions, but do not have any handy to just repost.

Keep what from seeing what?
Maybe I'm confused.

I read this to mean that vairous clients would connect to a single ERX. If the idea is that each client with will have their own ERX, then nevermind.
-
@Dashrender Are you doing drugs?
Many clients would connect to 1 ERX. Client to Site.In my case, my iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro, and Lenovo T440p.
Also, all my wife's devices.
The goal here is security, to stop from one from man in the middle attacks, etc.

@JaredBusch I was thinking about OpenVPN... How hard is that to setup?

Many clients would connect to 1 ERX. Client to Site.Maybe, I only got 3 hours of sleep last night.
I read you post like YOU were going to be offering some sort of VPN concentration service like Pro XPN for your clients.
But clearly that's not the situation, so - whiney voice NEVERMIND
-
@Dashrender Maybe I should just use ProXPN.....
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Although, this sentence still confuses me.
many of your clients will connect to 1 ERX, - huh?
Client to site? again, huh?

Where do MitM attacks come into this?
And the OP mentioned no split tunneling - again, what are you trying to solve?
-
Basically, I don't want some "hacker" at a coffee shop to be able to intercept my traffic and use it to gain access to my accounts.
-
I want all data encrpted all the way back to my network, and then to the internet.
-
OK. Great.
JB asked:

And you said "yes"
This is where I became confused.
It sounds like you want your own traffic to enter the internet from your home/office (wherever your ERX is).
That desire has nothing to do with your clients.
So now that we are on the same page (I hope), I'm sure the OpenVPN instructions on ubiquiti's webset should solve the problem for you.

huh - yeah quick searches definitely lean toward the site-to-site type setups.
but this link looks like a starting point.
