Technical Tip: How to check which ISP SSL VPN user is connected

Description This article describes how to find to which ISP SSL VPN user is connected while using multiple WAN connections for SSL VPN.
Scope FortiGate.
Solution

There are two ports used to establish SSL VPN connections. In this example, WAN1 and WAN2.

Port 1 - https://10.9.10.105:10443.

Port 2 - https://10.9.26.105:10443.

In this example, connect to SSL VPN using port2 with the IP https://10.9.26.105:10443.

Under the Source interface, it is possible to see the port through which the SSL VPN user is connected.

Use the same method to find the source port for the user connecting through tunnel mode (FortiClient):

Note:
Starting from v7.6.3, the SSL VPN tunnel mode will no longer be supported, and SSL VPN web mode will be called 'Agentless VPN'.
