Message meets Alert Condition

Hi

 

This looks like an attempt to come in from Germany via the VPN? Am I reading this right?

No, this looks like a user trying to reach a German website through your VPN (evidently you are not using split-tunnel).  Notice the destination is Germany.  The source is 10.212.134.204 on your SSL VPN (ssl.root) tunnel.

By the way, the destination IP belongs to Apple. And, based on the ping latency from my current position, it seems to be reasonable to be in Europe.

The interesting part IMHO is the source address. It's from a private range which looks like coming from a mobile device to me.

You cannot really avoid having your VPN gateway accessed by unsolicited sources. You can create a 'local-in' policy with geo-location source addresses to whitelist or blacklist countries, and you should have user quarantine in place for too many failed login attempts.
