    If you're saying a Watchguard FW is inside of FortiGate and want to the FG to pass the SSL VPN through it, you need to have a proper way to pass the TCP port (default 443) to the Watchguard in addition to routing. Your description is not clear where the public IP resides. At FG or WG?

    Sorry for the delay the Public IP is at the WG.  This WG firewall is on a remote office is not local.

     

    We want to pass through our fortigate to connect to that remote office using the app from WG but i have no idea how to. I tried to add the public address and them create a policy but still nothing so far.

     

    Any idea what can ido ?

    So the client is located inside of FGT at local office and trying to connect to the remote WG with SSL VPN?

    Then almost nothing would need other than a simple/default NAT policy for the internet at FGT. Are you sure WG is receiving the SSL VPN attempts? I would run debug on WG side if it's receiving them.
