IPSec VPN without static ip or DDNS?

[aroch]

Hello,

first of all i would like to say, that i am new to fortinet products.

We have a small location with a Draytek firewall and a dsl line with dynamic ip address (changes every 24 hours)

We tried to set up a new ipsec vpn tunnel to our fortigate but we can not choose dynamic ip as remote gateway.

Is there a way to use dynamic ip or do they need a static ip or ddns service ?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards

hi,

with dynamic IP, it is difficult to setup IPSec vpn with any device.  At least you should have one static IP to setup any kind of vpn or a valid host name on internet cloud.

Welcome to the forums

If one end has a static IP address, then look into dialup VPN options. The dynamic end will 'phone home' to the static end and start communication.
