Description

This article describes why it is not possible to select an incoming interface while creating an IPSec tunnel using IPsec native Windows wizard.

Scope

FortiGate 7.0, 7.2.

Solution

When doing the automated method to create an IPsec native Windows, the wizard ends up creating all the objects necessary for a proper tunnel.

In this case (when IPSEC incoming interface is part of a Zone - for Android and Windows native), the wizard needs to create an L2TP policy from the tunnel interface to the phase-1 binding interface.

Policies do not allow to select zone members as a source or destination so this policy cannot be created from the wizard.

If preferring to use the wizard, one should first create the tunnel binding to a different interface (dummy/unused port not part of a Zone).

Then after tunnel creation, it will be necessary to edit the tunnel interface to the desired one (VPN -> IPSec Tunnels -> Edit 'Tunnel' Dialup - Windows -> Incoming interface).

Also, it is needed to change the destination interface on the firewall policy from the 'tunnel' interface with the phase-1 binding interface to outside (select the appropriate zone).
