Question

SSL VPN+no default gateway or routing info?

To all: I' m sure I am missing something really stupid, but surfing around this forum, the knowledge base, and the SSL VPN User Guide didn' t provide me with any info. I am working on setting up an SSL VPN using a Fortigate 500 with firmware version: Fortigate-500 3.00,build0319,060724. I am able to authenticate a client using a local user and I am getting an IP address from the reserved IPs in tunnel mode, but I cannot communicate from there. ipconfig is showing an IP of 172.31.1.10/32 with a default gateway of 172.31.1.10. I assume that I need to configure a virtual interface somewhere and assign that as the default gateway for those reservations, but I can' t figure out where. thanks in advance.

    you don' t have to add the IP GW of your VPN adapter. You should just add the policy route from source IP of your SSL networks (incoming) to internal network (outgoing). And check your policy too, it should be internet(WAN) > internal (LAN) and ACTION > SSLVPN. regards, ata

    Start with ' all' > ' all' , service ' any' and narrow it down from there. If that doesn' t work, make sure your connection is really up.

    Hello, I' ve believe that we found here in the lab, a mini-issue with setting destination to ' all' in a ssl-vpn policy. If I set " all" as destination in that policy, (i have ssl tunnel splitting allowed) I receive an error message saying: " Destination address of split tunneling policy is invalid" Solution: restrict destination address to subnets, etc for ssl-vpn policy (or disabling split tunneling at all) That error message doesn' t sound irrational, but, just for forum info (MR4, build 480 in a 200A box) regards,
