Description This article explains how to get the Remote IPsec user IP address, which can be used by the network admin for analysis purposes.
Scope FortiOS.
Solution

Unlike SSL VPN, the FortiOS GUI does not show the IP address assigned to the Remote IPsec user.

To find the tunnel Address, follow these steps.

 

  1. Go to Dashboard -> Network -> IPsec and select 'click to expand' the widget.
  2. Note down the IPsec tunnel name that corresponds to the user.
