SSL-VPN from China being blocked.

[sdb_tobbe]

Hi

We have noticed that GDS (Great firewall of China) has blocked more and more over the last months. We have users that travels to China in business and they now have problem connecting via SSL-VPN to hq.

Is there somewhat any workaround for this that you know of, please make yourself heard. This is getting serious....

Are you  using  a well-known port or or a not so well-known port? Btw I was in china ( HK )  and had no problems attaching via ipsec or ssl-vpn  and with service port 443.

Hi

We are using 443 and as I far I know, not all locations have that problem yet, but locations that work are getting fewer.

Hi

We faced out same issues last year and tried hard to find a solution with fortinet support team.

The only way was to configure sslvpn at HeadQuarter and a ipsec logon point in china for china remote workers.
