we want to setup IPSec in linode to connect to a data supplier company. They require as to provide the domain ip and encryption domain. How do we get this encryption domain, is it the broadcast domain?

  • http://serverfault.com/questions/381057/vpn-encryption-domain "Encryption domain refers to the range of IP addresses of the hosts which will be participating in the encrypted VPN." Hope this helps a little. I am curios, is the Linode side going to act like the client for the IPSec VPN Tunnel? – Rahim Khoja Sep 20 '16 at 01:45

    @Canadian_Republican Ah, its clear to me now! Thanks for the help, really appreciate it. I think so yes, the linode acts as a client. Also thank you for the guide. Can you add it as answer so I can approve it? Thank you again – Mark L Sep 20 '16 at 02:06
