Sounds to me like a return route is missing?

Hello 

 

If you have successfully established the IPsec VPN tunnel between two FortiGate 40F devices and can reach the remote FortiGate gateway IP, but cannot reach any other equipment on the remote network, there are a few things you can check:

1. Firewall policies: Ensure that you have configured the appropriate firewall policies to allow traffic between the local and remote networks. Check both the incoming and outgoing policies to make sure they are correctly configured.

2. Routing: Verify that you have configured the static routes correctly on both FortiGate devices. The routes should point to the correct next-hop IP addresses for the remote networks. Double-check the routing table on each device to ensure the routes are present and correct.

3. NAT: If you are using Network Address Translation (NAT), make sure you have configured it properly. Check if NAT rules are interfering with the VPN traffic or causing address translation issues.

4. Subnet overlap: Ensure that there is no overlapping IP address space between the local and remote networks. If there is an overlap, it can cause routing and connectivity problems.

5. VPN phase 2 settings: Review the Phase 2 settings for the VPN tunnel on both FortiGate devices. Make sure the local and remote subnets are correctly configured and match the actual networks.

6. Traffic logging: Enable logging for the relevant firewall policies and review the logs to see if any traffic is being blocked or denied. This can provide valuable information about why the connectivity is not working.

7. Firmware version: Check if you are running the latest firmware version on both FortiGate devices. There might be known issues or bug fixes related to IPsec VPN that could impact connectivity.

If you have checked all these aspects and are still unable to reach other equipment on the remote network, it might be helpful to consult the Fortinet documentation, forums, or support resources for further assistance.
