No need to use UCSD. Cloud based server(s) work just
fine. Places like
AWS drip with bandwidth.
Is AWS able to run an IPIP gateway? I am currently trying to migrate an IPIP gateway
from the "Hosted Raspberry Pi" that it is now to a VM that is being offered as a
replacement,
but it turns out that the "Apache Cloudstack" that this (and apparently many
other) hoster
uses to deploy VMs is unable to pass other network traffic than TCP and UDP.
(and replies to outgoing traffic)
Good enough for OpenVPN and will probably work with IPsec and other VPN protocols, but
not
suitable for an IPIP gateway that also accepts incoming traffic.
I am now looking for a solution. Of course I can make a VPN to our gateway, but this
system was a test environment for an IPIP gateway. When IPIP goes away, I no longer need
it.
However, I could also use it to draft an example of how to setup a VPN service on a Linux
machine.
