NOTE: As far as I know, IPSec/L2TP is considered to be one of the most secure protocols! Still I cannot guarantee 100% security!
Script has been tested on:
- Digital Ocean: Ubuntu 14.04 x64 (Trusty)
Feel free to test it on more distributions and please report back to me!

wget https://raw.github.com/philplckthun/setup-simple-ipsec-l2tp-vpn/master/setup.sh
sudo sh setup.sh
The script will lead you through the installation process.
During installation you have to enter an IPSec PSK Key, a custom username if you wish, and a password.
Ports 1701, 500 and 4500 must be opened for the VPN to work!
Enjoy your very own (secure) VPN!
Clients are configured to use Google's Public DNS servers, when the VPN connection is active: https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/
Only one VPN account is generated!
To add more accounts, see the file /etc/ppp/chap-secrets
In the future I might add the ability to generate more accounts.
If you keep the VPN server generated with this script on the internet for a long time (days or more), consider securing it to possible attacks!
