Question

Route all traffic through VPN

I have 2 offices. Main office has a Fortigate100A, Remote office has Fortigate60. I have my Websense URL filtering server located in my main office and would like to route all traffic in that remote office to go through my main office. Like a WAN. If all traffic is not possible to route to the main office, would anyone have any idea how to route HTTP traffic to go to my Websense server. I tried putting a rule in the remote office firewall to route HTTP, but that didn' t seem to work. I do not use the URL Content filtering on either firewall since I use Websense. Any help?? pmosca@trinitystairs.com

    You could setup a proxy or a dns server that points all webtraffic throuh the tunnel. or if there aren' t a lot of computers you could just setup a static route in each of the computers -DCG

    Pablo, Indeed the points are: 1/ When you stand on the remote FG60, you set a vpn policy to redirect ANY traffic (i.e. 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0, ANY services) to your HQ office (FG100A). 2/ When you stand back to your HQ (FG100A), set a vpn policy to build up vpn tunnel with remote office as normal like 10.0.0.0/24 3/ On your 100A, set an ADDITIONAL wan1 to wan1 policy, to allow the subnet of remote office to access (eg. 10.0.0.0/24) to access the Internet (0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0) Please try and report~ Thx~

    I am not sure whether it could help... but it' s no harm to try... Firstly, it' s assumed that you have build up a vpn tunnel between these two offices, beside the standard ipsec vpn setting, some points to note: Setting on remote site' s FG - make sure the destination address in the vpn policy rule is set as ' 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0' Setting on your local FG - set a fw policy to allow the remote office subnet to access the Internet Please share your result if tested~ Or maybe something I have missed...

    oops, yes I do have a IPSPEC VPN between the 2 offices. I have the first setting you mentioned already on. But I am not sure what you mean on the second setting. They currently access the internet through their gateway, but I want to route it to through the VPN and to my Websense server.
