OpenVPN server Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial) TLS 1.3 connection

Post by joenas » Tue Jul 24, 2018 10:37 am

I am running on my Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial) an OpenVPN server using the OpenVPN community build script provided : https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/w ... system#no1
Running the command: IMAGEROOT=`pwd`/image-native ./build gives me the following specs of OpenVPN:

Code: Select all

#openvpn --version
OpenVPN 2.4.6 x86_64-pc-linux-gnu [SSL (OpenSSL)] [LZO] [LZ4] [EPOLL] [PKCS11] [MH/PKTINFO] [AEAD] built on Jul 24 2018
library versions: OpenSSL 1.1.0h  27 Mar 2018, LZO 2.10

Since OpenVPN 2.4.5 there is support for TLS 1.3 in tls-version-{min,max} added (https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/w ... enVPN2.4.5)
This is discussed in mailinglist (https://sourceforge.net/p/openvpn/mailm ... karger.me/)

When I run the server with the default configuration

Code: Select all

port 1194
proto tcp
dev tun
ca ca.crt
cert server.crt
key server.key  # This file should be kept secret
dh dh2048.pem
server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0
ifconfig-pool-persist ipp.txt
push "redirect-gateway def1 bypass-dhcp"
push "dhcp-option DNS 208.67.222.222"
push "dhcp-option DNS 208.67.220.220"
keepalive 10 120
tls-auth ta.key 0 # This file is secret
key-direction 0
keepalive 10 120
auth SHA256
comp-lzo
user nobody
group nogroup
persist-key
persist-tun
status openvpn-status.log
verb 3
Everything works and I am able to create a connection.
However when i ad the option tls-version-min 1.3 i get the Error:
When i instead use the tls-version-min 1.2 option everything works fine again.


My Question:
What do I have to change in my setup, to create a working OpenVPN server where you can connect to with a TLS 1.3 connection?

Technically, Openvpn has been made ready to use TLS 1.3 when it becomes available from the SSL library you build Openvpn with. It does not specifically add TLS 1.3 coding to Openvpn.

Because your SSL library does not yet have TLS 1.3

From the thread you mention earlier .. currently you would need to build Openvpn with Openssl master branch not a release branch (as of this date)

Howto build Openvpn with Openssl master branch is beyond the scope of this Forum.
You can try customising the build-system but I have my doubts that it is ready for Openssl master branch yet.
If you do try then we would be interested in your results.

Update:

However although there is a connection created no data there is no internet working. If somebody got a clue on why the connection is succesful but the data transmission is unsuccesfull?

Installing latest OpenSSL

Code: Select all

$ git clone https://github.com/openssl/openssl.git
$ find . -name tls1.h | xargs grep TLS1_3_VERSION_DRAFT_TXT
$ mkdir build; cd ./build
$ ../config -v --prefix=/opt/openssl --openssldir=$HOME/openssl enable-tls1_3 --debug
$ make
$ make install
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/build/openssl/build
$ ./apps/openssl 
OpenSSL> version
OpenSSL 1.1.1-dev  xx XXX xxxx
Installing latests OpenVPN

Code: Select all

$ wget https://swupdate.openvpn.org/community/releases/openvpn-2.4.6.tar.gz
$ tar xzf openvpn-2.4.6.tar.gz
$ cd openvpn-2.4.6
$ CFLAGS="-I/opt/openssl/include -Wl,-rpath=/opt/openssl/lib -L/opt/openssl/lib" ./configure --disable-lzo
$ make -j 4
$ ldd ./src/openvpn/openvpn
$ sudo make install
$ /usr/local/sbin/openvpn --version

gives me the following openvpn setup:

Can you ping over the VPN ?
