Hello,
I have a question about FortiGate 500. I have an OpenVPN server with a private IP address of 192.168.1.2. I have assigned this server a public address like 1.2.3.4 and my server uses this address to connect to the internet. Now I want to assign a public virtual IP address, such as 1.2.3.5, for users to connect to this server via the Internet.

Is it possible?

 

Thank you.

Hi,

 

Yes it is possible.

You need to setup a VIP and enable port forwarding for VPN ports.
