Restrict SSL VPN Access to a Specific Public IP for a Single User
Hello,
I would like to configure a FortiGate SSL VPN policy with the following requirement:
For one specific user only, I need to allow SSL VPN access only if the connection originates from a defined external (public) IP address.
Other SSL VPN users should not be affected — they should continue to connect normally without any source IP restriction.
I’ve tried using Allow IPs / Deny IPs in the SSL VPN Settings, but that applies globally, so it doesn’t solve this case.
I also tried to handle it with the SSLVPN-to-LAN firewall policy, but that doesn’t seem to work as expected.
Even Local-In policies didn’t help.
Do I need to create a separate SSL VPN portal and apply a host check rule, or is there another recommended method to achieve this in version FortiOS 7.2.11?
Best regards,
