Hi there,

 

I have configured Remote access Ipsec vpn with forticlient (IPsec Wizard) and I want to implement following best practice.

 

1. Client must get static IP address (not clients get the IP address from DHCP Pool)

Or

Can I bind static IP address to Users statically .

 

2. If Client is not performing any activity within 5 min or 10 min or more, Connection automatically should be disconnected. ( When Client is idle condition)

 

3. At a time only one user can login the VPN with his/her username.

 

for example - test user only can login from one machine, not multiple machine.

 

4. Can I bind static mac address of the Client machine with user name or IP address.

 

5. MFA - I have checked it is working fine for me.

 

6. Can I create two/more separate group and assign different subnet.

 

Thank you for support.

To accomplish all this, you need a RADIUS solution, and FortiAuthenticator can offer all of them.
Users will be remote users from radius server, and have all those radius attributes and accounting.
