Hello, I have a specific website and I would like to access it through remote machines connected through IPSec VPN. The website only allows a connection from my WAN without fortigate. Can you help me access it, please?

Hi @WesleyGrillo ,

 

Some questions:

 

1) What is the web site?  

2) "The website only allows a connection from my WAN without fortigate." 

 

What does this mean?

Sorry, I wrote it wrong.

 

I meant that the website only accepts connections from my WAN.

 

Let's assume that the website to be released is www.yahoo.com.br

Hi @WesleyGrillo ,

 

Can you elaborate on the use case?

 

For example, you have PC A on the local network, PC B on the remote network over the  IPSec VPN tunnel.  You need to connect to PC B from PC A and access the website from the local Internet access on the PC B.

 

Something like that.  It will help us to better understand what you need.

Hi,
===================================================================
I have a "PC A" on a remote network.

 

I have a "Firewall" on the local network.

 

I have a website called "www.teste.com" hosted on a server in another country.

 

A site-to-client IPsec VPN is configured and is working normally.

===================================================================

"PC A" connects via VPN to the "Firewall".

 

I want "PC A" to access the website "www.teste.com" through the IPsec VPN.

 

The website "www.teste.com" only accepts connection from the WAN1 IP of the firewall.

 

Thanks for the help.
