Hi all, I am new with Fortigate, and I have a question: I have a Fortigate 100A unit in office (internet is provided by ADSL line with static IP), and SSL VPN clients that connect to it. Is it possible for clients to use my office’s public IP “to exit on internet”? For example, my office’s IP is 79.124.56.4, and the client' s public IP is 66.54.45.78: when client connect to VPN I would like that public IP becomes 79.124.56.4 Thanks in advance for help :) Regards, Jack

    Hello Jack, Yes this is possible. When you configure the SSL VPN Portal disable the split tunneling. After that configure a firewall policy allowing traffic from ssl.root interface to your Internet interface with NAT enable. I hope this can help you!
