IPSEC_VERIFY(8)

NAME
ipsec_verify - see if the IPsec subsystem has been installed correctly

SYNOPSIS

ipsec verify

DESCRIPTION

The ipsec verify examines the local system for a number of common system faults and configuration mistakes.

In addition, verify performs checks relevant to Opportunistic Encryption if this is enabled via oe=yes in the configuration file ipsec.conf. It looks in forward DNS for an IPSECKEY record for the system's hostname or myid= value.

HISTORY

Written originally for the Linux FreeS/WAN project <http://www.freeswan.org> by Michael Richardson. Rewritten in python by Paul Wouters

BUGS

Verify was converted from shell to perl to python, and the MASQUERADING/NAT rule tests still need to be ported. The ss command is around in various non-intuitive and buggy versions, causing some false-positives with respect to listening on UDP port 500 and 4500.
