Hello Everyone,

 

I have 2 internet and I configured SD-WAN with load balance on the FortiGate firewall.

 

I have inbound policy to my web server and it works fine from outside but when I'm in my local network and use the guest wifi it doesn't load the we server page. 

 

How can I have the return path from guest to my web server?

Do I need to configure SD-WAN rule or ......?

 

Thank you

Hi DrFW

Are you trying access the Web server from Guest WiFi through the public IP?

If so then you need to configure hairpin NAT.

Hope it helps.
