vpnsetup-l2tp: A script to set up an L2TP VPN client on Debian/Ubuntu systems

vpnsetup-l2tp.sh is a script to set up an L2TP VPN client on Debian/Ubuntu systems. It:

• Asks interactively for the remote VPN address and secret key, login user and password;
• Downloads, compiles and installs necessary dependencies;
• Generates config files for openswan and xl2tp;
• Installs a vpn script, which can be called like sudo vpn up and sudo vpn down to start and stop the VPN.

TODO:

• Add a mechanism to add/remove subnets from the VPN. Currently it has a hardcoded subnet, though other subnets can be added non-permanently with ip route add x.x.x.x/xx dev ppp0.
