    do you mean allow a user from specific ip inside your network to connect to an external vpn server?

    In any case this is not relevant to web filtering.

     

    In case you want to allow a user from internal network to access a vpn gateway:

     

    Define a static ip for the specific user's pc.

    Create a rule from your internal network to internet with source the user's ip and destination the vpn gateway ip, use vpn port at the service tab and allow this traffic with NAT.

    Place this rule above your global rule for accessing the internet

     

     

    In case you want a remote user to access your infrastructure:

     

    Create a local firewall user which will be used at your VPN settings.

    Create a rule with:

    From: sslvpn virtual interface

    To: any internal or external interface

    Source: your ip range from vpn settings AND your localy created user

    Destination: all or any specific ip you want the user to have access to

    Enable NAT.

    If you meant to limit the client IP where SSL VPN is coming from, you can use "set source-address <address_or_addrgrp_object>" under "config vpn ssl settings".
