In the eerie depths of the dark forest, there once lived a cruel witch. With her twisted and gnarled legs, she was often seen lurking with malice in her eyes. Legend had it that she possessed a hidden power, enabling her to tuck her legs under her house, concealing her true form from unsuspecting victims. The witch's presence struck fear into the hearts of all who encountered her, as her wickedness knew no bounds. She would use her powers to cast spells upon anyone who dared cross her path, turning them into mindless creatures at her beck and call. This malevolent witch had a reputation that spread far beyond the forest's boundaries, and tales of her cruelty were whispered among the terrified villagers.
I'm clinging onto the hope I don't have to outsource it, but VPN's really are black magic, and these ridiculous requirements of security are not helping. We've requested more information, but that was met with something like "We don't like to endorse providers, but we use Cisco". :(
The problem here it two-fold, there s figuring out how this thing works, then figuring out how to integrate this VPN into AWS EC2 so our production environment can connect to it and make requests down the tunnel. I ve been sent the technical documents for this arrangement, and the way we request and receive data is done via a black magic VPN tunnel and a bunch of hardware VPN concentrators.
This malevolent witch had a reputation that spread far beyond the forest's boundaries, and tales of her cruelty were whispered among the terrified villagers. As time went on, the locals grew more fearful, avoiding the witch's lair at all costs. The mere mention of her name would send shivers down their spines, as they knew that anyone who crossed her would face a grim fate.
B2B VPN black magic
Someone over at /r/sysadmin advised me to cross-post my query here.
The company I'm working for is mulling over the decision to enter a B2B arrangement with a government agency. I've been sent the technical documents for this arrangement, and the way we request and receive data is done via a black magic VPN tunnel and a bunch of hardware (VPN concentrators. ) I don't really understand.
The problem here it two-fold, there's figuring out how this thing works, then figuring out how to integrate this VPN into AWS EC2 so our production environment can connect to it and make requests down the tunnel.
I've been told this PDF is confidential, so I've plucked the diagram of how they want it to work out.

I've attempted to pluck some information about the VPN out from this guide:
- It uses IKE, somewhere
- It wants to use IKE-3DES-SHA to encrypt something ( IUseRhetoric deduced it's a Cisco device on their end)
- "The VPN endpoint must support RFC 3947"
At the very least, if someone could explain what in the flying fuck a VPN concentrator is, I would be incredibly grateful.
The real kicker about this PDF isn't that it uses a mysterious-soup-VPN, but the API on the end has opening hours of 0630-2200 M-F, 0700-1700 Saturday, and closed on Christmas, Easter, and Sundays.
