My computer that I use to connect to work with Ipsec Forti Client (VPN) is on a LAN. The problem is that when I am connected to this VPN, I lose access to my LAN. Printing to the network printer is not possible unless I disconnect from the VPN

    hello, and welcome to the forums. If you specify the LAN address behind the tunnel then only matching traffic will traverse the tunnel. At the moment, it looks like ' 0.0.0.0/0' . If at your work place you use the LAN 192.168.33.0/24 then enter this in the FortiClient.

    FC v5 is configured on the FortiGate (mode-cfg).

    How did you configure the FortiClient in the first place? IMHO the FortiClient VPN is configured on the Fortigate itself. The client only needs the gateway address, a username and the PSK (or cert). So, it looks like the config on the Fortigate is incorrect. Look at the phase2 parameters, Quick Mode selectors. ' Source' should be the LAN address behind the Fortigate and not ' 0.0.0.0/0' . ' Dest' is the LAN address behind the client, and as such unknown or variable, and set to ' 0.0.0.0/0' . If you are a FC user and not the FGT admin then you' ll have to talk to the admin. edit: It might as well be that the admin intends to have all traffic (even that to the internet) through the tunnel, for security reasons. As long as your computer is part of the company' s LAN (while tunnel up), internet traffic would be protected by the FGT.

    I have a similar  problem.

    Local network - 192.168.1.x

    Remote  network - 192.168.1.x

    SSL VPN  

    Split tunnel  enabled

    When connected  via  VPN, can access remote  services but cannot  print to  local printer 

    When disconnected  from VPN can print  locally. 

     

    Objective :

    Be  connected  via SSL  VPN and  print to local  network  printer
