SwirlVPN is a VPN service optimised for Mobile Phones. This source code repository contains the source for creating such a service. It includes:
- Web Server: a web server with user account creation/managment.
- Regional Server: a VPN server that runs a remote VPN node, there can be many of these running, this is to where the users connect their VPN sessions to.
- Master Server: a master server that Regional Servers communicate with to authorise users
The technology is built using:
- Node.JS as the primary server platform. Node relies on:
- ExpressJS - using Jade
- Mongoose (for MongoDB connectivity)
- MongoDB as the database
- OpenVPN as the VPN technology
The configuration is mostly in the "./common/config.js" folder. If there are any other configuration options, these can be found by searching for "CONFIG_TODO".
The diagram below shows how SwirlVPN looks when it is setup. The IP range 10.8.0.* marks the internal network of the SwirlVPN servers, client traffic does not move through this network, it is only for server-to-server comms. The 10.10.0.* network range is what the VPN clients get assigned when they connect.
