# IPsec VPN Server on Docker
[](https://github.com/hwdsl2/docker-ipsec-vpn-server/actions/workflows/main-alpine.yml) [](https://github.com/hwdsl2/docker-ipsec-vpn-server/stargazers) [](https://hub.docker.com/r/hwdsl2/ipsec-vpn-server/) [](https://hub.docker.com/r/hwdsl2/ipsec-vpn-server/)
Docker image to run an IPsec VPN server, with IPsec/L2TP, Cisco IPsec and IKEv2.
Based on Alpine 3.23 or Debian 12 with [Libreswan](https://libreswan.org) (IPsec VPN software) and [xl2tpd](https://github.com/xelerance/xl2tpd) (L2TP daemon).
An IPsec VPN encrypts your network traffic, so that nobody between you and the VPN server can eavesdrop on your data as it travels via the Internet. This is especially useful when using unsecured networks, e.g. at coffee shops, airports or hotel rooms.
**Features:**
- Automatically generates VPN credentials and IKEv2 configuration on first start
- Supports IKEv2 with strong and fast ciphers (e.g. AES-GCM)
- Generates VPN profiles to auto-configure iOS, macOS and Android devices
- Supports Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Chrome OS and Linux as VPN clients
- Includes a helper script to manage IKEv2 users and certificates
- Automatically built and published via [GitHub Actions](https://github.com/hwdsl2/docker-ipsec-vpn-server/actions/workflows/main-alpine.yml)
- Persistent data via a Docker volume
- Multi-arch: `linux/amd64`, `linux/arm64`, `linux/arm/v7`

## Quick start
Use this command to set up an IPsec VPN server on Docker:
```bash
docker run \
--name ipsec-vpn-server \
--restart=always \
-v ikev2-vpn-data:/etc/ipsec.d \
-v /lib/modules:/lib/modules:ro \
-p 500:500/udp \
-p 4500:4500/udp \
-d --privileged \
hwdsl2/ipsec-vpn-server
```
Your VPN login details will be randomly generated. See [Retrieve VPN login details](#retrieve-vpn-login-details).
