vpn-setup

vpn-setup is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from BagelHole/DevOps-Security-Agent-Skills. It costs 34 tokens per session (3,282 once invoked), scanned D, original, MIT.

A guide for configuring VPN tunnels with WireGuard, OpenVPN, or cloud services. A VPN encrypts traffic and provides controlled access between users, offices, data centres, and private services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set up remote access, connect on-premises networks to cloud environments, link regions or data centres, and build private service networks.
Why use it?
It avoids exposing internal systems directly to the public internet and protects traffic crossing untrusted networks.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade D, and why

vpn-setup scanned grade D with 3 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

VPN Setup

Configure secure VPN tunnels for remote access and site connectivity.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

  • Setting up secure remote access for employees or contractors
  • Connecting on-premises networks to cloud environments (site-to-site)
  • Encrypting traffic between data centers or regions
  • Implementing a mesh VPN for distributed infrastructure
  • Providing secure access to internal services without exposing them publicly

Prerequisites

  • Linux server with a public IP for VPN endpoint
  • Root/sudo access on the VPN server
  • Firewall rules allowing VPN traffic (UDP 51820 for WireGuard, UDP 1194 for OpenVPN)
  • DNS configured for VPN hostname (optional but recommended)
  • Understanding of IP subnetting and routing

WireGuard

Server Setup

# Install WireGuard (Ubuntu/Debian)
apt update && apt install -y wireguard

# Generate server keys
wg genkey | tee /etc/wireguard/server_private.key | wg pubkey > /etc/wireguard/server_public.key
chmod 600 /etc/wireguard/server_private.key

# Generate pre-shared key (optional, adds post-quantum resistance)
wg genpsk > /etc/wireguard/psk.key
chmod 600 /etc/wireguard/psk.key

Server Configuration

# /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf
[Interface]
Address = 10.0.0.1/24
ListenPort = 51820
PrivateKey = <server-private-key>

# Enable IP forwarding and NAT on startup
PostUp = sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
PostUp = iptables -A FORWARD -i wg0 -j ACCEPT
PostUp = iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
PostDown = iptables -D FORWARD -i wg0 -j ACCEPT
PostDown = iptables -t nat -D POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

# DNS for clients

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

vpn-setup is a skill published in the GitHub repository BagelHole/DevOps-Security-Agent-Skills (1,084 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 3,282 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it D with 3 findings (asks for root, downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
