Fortigate sslvpn site-to-site with.... OpenVPN? Is't possible?

[Carlos_A_Almeida]

Hello guys.

One client came with this question, if it's possible to do a site-to-site vpn connection between Fortigate and OpenVPN. Since openVPN works only with SSL vpn I think it's not possible, but I can be wrong.

Thank you.

FWIW

I never seen one  commercial vendor deploy  OpenVPN in a  firewall. OpenSource  firewll like pfsense/vyatta ( or whatever there new name is ) do but that's about it.

And OpenVPN is mainly a client-vpn solution and not a l2l but I have seen a few who have successful deploy it in the same fashion as cisco EASYvpn and NAT their local subnet behind the vpn-tunnel.

Is there however a way to connect a site that use an openvpn to a fortigate (sslvpn or ....)??

Any example?

Thanks in advance.

No. For *nix system you need use something like Openswan to do IPSec with Fortigate or others appliances.
