Question

IPSec Site To Site VPN

I have a very short question for you all. I have two Fortigate firewalls, both behind NAT, am I still able to create an IPSec site to site tunnel ? It doesn't seem to be listed as a valid configuration anywhere, not in the templates and not on the internet as far as I have searched. I am in control of both NAT routers and both have static, full stack IP's.

Hi @yegget ,

 

If both FGTs can talk to each other via NATted IPs, yes.

 

For example:  

Site A has 192.168.10.1,  NATted IP 1.1.1.1

Site B has 10.10.10.1  NATed IP 2.2.2.2

 

In Phase1 settings:

Site A:  Local Gateway - 192.168.10.1  / Remote Gateway 2.2.2.2

Site B: Local Gateway - 10.10.10.1 / Remote Gateway 1.1.1.1

 

Enable Nat Traversal in phase 1 settings.

you can always look at the logs and analyze the traffic going over the tunnel and start weeding out traffic that you know you don’t want or look for traffic that you do want. Pretty vague, but it’s a start.
