Connexion fail VPN Fortigate local to Fortigate AWS

Hello everyone,

I have a little problem I can not properly configure my local Fortigate VPN on Vmware on my AWS Fortigate. (I followed this: https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate-public-cloud/6.2.0/aws-administration-guide/881566/conn...

 

Here’s the infrastructure I have

(I don’t know if I need to add a route to my subnet)

 

On the Local part Vmware Fortigate:

My local Fortigate can ping my AWS Fortigate.

Hi there :

 

From the doc that you have attached, It says that the NAT config on AWS side should be set to This site is behind NAT. I see that you have set it to the remote site is behind NAT. 

 

 https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate-public-cloud/6.2.0/aws-administration-guide/881566/conn...

 
To create a VPN on the AWS FortiGate to the local FortiGate:
  1. For NAT Configuration, select This site is behind NAT. This is the correct configuration since the AWS FortiGate has an elastic IP address. Click Next.

Can you please change it to This site is behind NAT  and see if it works?

 

Thank you,

Hope

Hello Sudhakar,


I think they are mistaken since there are not the same fields to fill on the part
Site behind nat and remote site behind nat.
He explains that it is necessary to fill the incoming interface or this one can only fill it on the part and that the remote site is behind nat.
