Definitely prevent stubborn devices from being bound by the host driver in PCI passthrough scenario

Scenario

You're running a KVM-based virtualization. You want to do PCI/PCIe passthrough of some device. You don't want it to attach to the host OS at all.

Your device looks like that:

00:1f.2 SATA controller [0106]: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller [8086:1c02] (rev 05)
	Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family 6 port Desktop SATA AHCI Controller [103c:330d]
	Kernel driver in use: ahci
	Kernel modules: ahci

Setting up a secure VPN with strongSwan on debian

With heightening concern regarding the state of internet privacy (fuelled in part by the passing of the Investigatory Powers Act in the UK), I have set up a VPN server on the virtual server I have hosted with Mythic Beasts. This uses strongSwan and certificate-based IKEv2 authentication.

Assumptions:

  • Debian Jessie server already set up and accessible via debian.example.com, a public IPv4 of 203.0.113.1 and a public IPv6 of 2001:db8::1
  • Client username of me
  • Clients are running the latest versions of macOS and iOS (Sierra and 10 respectively at the time of writing)
  • No need to support any other operating systems (although the setup is easily translated)

For automated deployment of a similar setup, albeit Ubuntu-based and using ansible for deployment, I recommend you take a look at Algo VPN. I used that project as a basis for my configuration.
