Question

setting up a VPN connection behing HomeHub

Hi All,

I purchased a Fortigate 30D for home use. It is connected on the LAN to my BT home hub5 using an internal IP address.

I can connect a PC to the Fortigate LAN and set up a NAT to internet traffic just fine.

I decisded to try and build a VPN connection to AWS. The tunnel is built at both ends and shows as up. However when I try to connect to a device in AWS, it fails. A debug seems to show that traffic hits the VPN tunnel correctly, then it looks like it loops because I see a second traffic flow coming from the Ipsec tunnel? I suspect its an issue with haveing a NAT then another NAT on the HomeHub.

Has anyone been able to set up a similiar scenario?

 

Thanks

Dear Friend,

 

Have you created a policy for the tunnel? If yes, make sure you have a NAT enable.

 

From the word "Loop" , it sounds like a gateway configuration, make sure it.

 

Also, make sure of the IP address you defined, it's not conflicting somewhere.

 

Since there is no clear problem, I am just giving you a general assumption.

 

Regards,

Shehab

Hi Shehab,

Thanks for the reply. I got it working, turns out there was a missing route on the AWS side!

 

All good now!

 

Thanks
