Question

FortiClient VPN android traffic not routing through SSL VPN

Hi everyone,

 

We have a FortiGate VM setup for a client on which i have setup an SLL VPN for them to update some tablets which need to connect to a Program they have running on their server.

 

The VPN connects without a problem, but once connected the traffic on the tablet does not route through the VPN.

 

I was thinking of a problem with the config on the forticlient, but having tested it on a Samsung S10 the same thing happens, VPN connected but no traffic through it.

 

Is there a setting I may have missed somewhere in the SSL-VPN settings on the FortiGate?

 

Thanks for your time.

well, it could be a number of factors.

 

1. Did you setup a ipv4 policy to allow traffic from sslvpn to lan interface

 

2. Does the program require internal DNS resolution? Did you set internal DNS server?

 

3. Did you set the client routing in the SSL VPN Portal so the client knows what subnets to route(if it's split tunnel)

Hey, thanks for the reply.

 

1 - Yep i have a policy setup to allow it on the lan interface

 

2 - The program requires no DNS resolution it's going straight to the internal IP of the server

 

3 - Split tunneling is deactivated as the tablet only needs to connect for 2mins to update the DB of the program then can be disconnected from the VPN.

So i just thought i would send it all through the vpn since internet access will not be needed while connected to the VPN

The only other thing I can think of would be verifying the client is getting a valid IP while connected.

 

Beyond that I'll need some screenshots/output of config
