VPN between Fortigate (static IP) & Palo Alto (dynamic IP)

I would think the Fortigate needs to act like a VPN server and the Palo as a dialup user.  Just unsure how to go about it.

Dear tim5700,

 

For this scenario where Fortigate has static IP address and Palo Alto has dynamic IP address, you can check the KB bellow :

 

Dialup VPN Configuration Between Two FortiGates  

 

 

In your case the Fortigate will be configured as Dialup Server and Palo Alto will act as a dialup client.

 

Best regards,

Never configured PA as a VPN client, so can't comment on that, but have you considered using some DDNS provider on the Palo-Alto side? Then you could set up regular VPN site-to-site on Fortigate using FQDN instead of the IP for remote peer (PA).
