IKEv2 VPN Server on Docker

Usage

0. Build latest image

docker build -t vpn/ikev2 .

1. Start the IKEv2 VPN Server

docker run -d --name ikev2-vpn-server --restart=always --privileged -p 500:500/udp -p 4500:4500/udp vpn/ikev2

2. Generate the .mobileconfig (for iOS / OS X)

docker run -i -t --rm --volumes-from ikev2-vpn-server -e "HOST=vpn1.example.com" vpn/ikev2 generate-mobileconfig > ikev2-vpn.mobileconfig

Be sure to replace vpn1.example.com with your own domain name and resolve it to you server's IP address. Simply put an IP address is supported as well (and enjoy an even faster handshake speed).

Transfer the generated ikev2-vpn.mobileconfig file to your local computer via SSH tunnel (scp) or any other secure methods.

3. Install the .mobileconfig (for iOS / OS X)

• iOS 9 or later: AirDrop the .mobileconfig file to your iOS 9 device, finish the Install Profile screen;
