Although there are some good tutorials on setting VPN connections using IPSec in FreeBSD-to-FreeBSD or OpenBSD-to-OpenBSD configurations, only tutorials on setting FreeBSD-to-OpenBSD IPSec tunnels are at least partly outdated, mostly due to changes introduced in OpenBSD 3.8. In this tutorial I'll demonstrate how to configure such a VPN connection (tunneling mode) using racoon and isakmpd IKE daemons along with x509 certificates. The IP addresses used throughout this tutorial are: - gateway A running FreeBSD with internal IP address: 192.168.0.1, and external IP: 10.0.0.1, - gateway B running OpenBSD with internal IP address: 192.168.1.1, and external IP: 10.0.0.2. For the purpose of this tutorial I have used FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE and OpenBSD 4.1-RELEASE operating systems, but the configuration covered here should be applicable in any reasonably recent version as well.

In this guide I'd like to present a short info on setting own CVS repository. It has been written with an assumption that the repository will be accessed locally and through the SSH connection. Using ssh might require setting $CVS_RSH=ssh environment variable on client system.
