Question

SSL-VPN and IPSEC tunnels concurrently

We have a Fortigate 100A, and it already has multiple IPSEC vpn tunnels configured and working. We want to add a SSL-VPN tunnel to another remote office, will the Fortigate support both types of tunnels at the same time? I couldn' t find any documentation or any other posts that had to do with both IPSEC and SSL tunnels running at the same time. Only one or the other. The other office will use a DD-WRT router (Linksys WRT router flashed to run DD-WRT) running OpenVPN. Has anyone successfully connected a Fortigate via SSL-VPN to a DD-WRT router?

    Each tunnel is considered a separate entity and should have no effect on any other. They can coexist (I have 10+ IPSec and 40+ SSL running as I write, without problems). As far as connecting to that other unit, look back through this forum. There may be something in there. I vaguely remember seeing something to that effect, but since I had no idea what was transpiring in the post, I passed it by without any further thought.

    Fortinet' s SSLVPN approach it is not a LAN-to-LAN one; It' s well designed for remote or mobile users.

    Thanks for the responses fellas, it looks like we' re going to have to purchase a more sophisticated device than a linksys-wrt router, something that supports IPSEC site to site vpns. But if there is ever a way to do this with dd-wrt, I' m all ears :).
