Hello,

I have this scenario

The users have a specific URL that needs to be accessed via a specific public IP

The public IP is that of the company.

So when a user connects to the SSL VPN that it is not full tunnel, what are the options available for the user to have the public IP for that specific URL?

I see that the tunnel mode of the portal takes only IP

Thanks and regards,

If the IP is public then why VPN is needed? since public IP is intended to be accessed on internet without VPN.

Hello

The URL is accessed ony by whitelisted IPs

It is a corporate one.

So the user can only access it through VPN

Hey fortiFWuser,

just to make sure we understand:

- you have a server behind a public IP

- the server's URL resolves to this public IP with any public DNS

-> with your internal DNS, the URL resolves to an internal IP?
- you have a policy in place to only allow access to this public IP from specific sources, such as VPN IP range

To access the server, your users need the following:
1. Be connected to VPN

2. Resolve the server's URL to its public IP

3. Have a route to that public IP through VPN

4. Access the server on its public IP through VPN (with VPN source IP)

Is this correct?

Hello @Debbie_FTNT

The URL that accepts only whitelisted IP is not in my company.

It is a service accessed by my company.

So the scenario is as follows
I have a user connected to the VPN of my company.

I would like to have internet from his provider, but when he tries to access that specific URL to do it through the VPN in order to have the public IP of my company.
