I try to install the VPN-Cubed into Amazon EC2 and GoGrid

with the following Howto http://www.cohesiveft.com/dnld/VPN-Cubed_051_SSL-to-Cloud_Free-Edition_20091124.pdf

• export EC2_URL=https://us-east-1.ec2.amazonaws.com
• ec2-add-group vpncubed-mgr -d “vpncubed managers”
• ec2-add-group vpncubed-client -d “vpncubed clients”
• ec2auth vpncubed-mgr -P udp -p 1194 -o vpncubed-client -u AWS_ACCOUNT
• ec2auth vpncubed-mgr -P tcp -p 8000 -o vpncubed-mgr -u AWS_ACCOUNT
• ec2auth vpncubed-mgr -P udp -p 1195-1197 -o vpncubed-mgr -u AWS_ACCOUNT
• ec2auth vpncubed-mgr -P tcp -p 8000 -s IP_WHERE_YOU_WILL_MANAGE_CUBE/32

• export EC2_URL=https://eu-west-1.ec2.amazonaws.com
• <ec2 commands from above>

• export EC2_URL=

and also the one from GoGrid but  unfortunately  I was not able to add my own Private Cloud into this connection

I need some more Infos about the VPN Cubed Manager but I can’t find it.

I now wrote a email to Cohesiveft.com, now we will see.

Since Amazon launched his AWS VPC ( Virtual Private Cloud ) I’m Looking into Cloud Computing. But the Problem with Amazon Webservice VPC is that is little bit overkilled for private use or just a POC. They setup 2 ipsec Links with BGP Routing.

So I’m Looking into something similar best with OpenVPN because I have that already running with my Pfsense Firewall.

I found after a few Websearches the VPN-Cubed that works also with OpenVPN:

Thats how it works, you run a preinstalled Cloudserver with VPN-Cubed and also on the second site and then Connect them together. Looks pretty simple, but I have to test first.

–> and the best news, almost for free
