How to connect to Local LAN using FortiClient SSL VPN

[pxiannie]

I'm able to connect to the ssl vpn, after connected I can access to my f drive but when I ping my server name I can't find my host server. Also, I cant access to http://servername:5050/Login.aspx , it shows me DNS resolve failed, but I can access to http://192.168.X.XX:5050/Login.aspx 

Policy 1

Outgoing Interface: lan

If DNS resolution is still problematic, you can add an entry to the hosts file timeshare exit companies on your machine. Open the hosts file (located at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts on Windows) and add a line like: 192.168.X.XX servername.

This step is a temporary workaround. The primary solution should be to ensure proper DNS resolution.

Thanks for suggestion but I have to solve the DNS resolution problem. I wonder why when I ping ip, some able to ping but some show destination host unreachable and Request timed out. Isnt I set the destination to local lan 192.168.1.0/24, it should be able to ping all these?

Hi @pxiannie,

Some might not respond to ping due to host based firewalls. Are you able to ping those IPs from the FortiGate. You can run debug flow to see if the traffic is going through: https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Troubleshooting-Tip-First-steps-to-troubleshoot-connecti...

For DNS issue, have you followed suggestions above?
