Adding Sophos Red Device - question about accessing clients

Aaron Berger

Hello,

I'm looking to install a Red device to establish a VPN between 2x sites so a NAS at site2 can be accessed by devices at site1. But I still need other devices at site2 connected to the ISP supplied modem to still be able to access the NAS too.

Site1 has an XG115 as it's gateway.

Site2 has an ISP supplied internet modem with 4ports and has a couple of laptops and a NAS connected.

I figure the Red device requires the WAN port to be connected to the ISP modem lan port to be able to create a VPN.

Can I leave the NAS connected to the ISP modem and use routes from the Red device to access it from site1? Or do I need to connect the NAS to the Red device lan port and then create rules so the laptops connected to the ISP modem can still access the NAS?

Any help would be most appreciated.

Kind regards

Aaron

    Its not possible to access this end of RED. RED will only allow access to the LAN Ports, not resources in WAN. 

    This would be a better use case for a small XG appliance, as you can simply configure it on XG.

    Hi LuCar thank you for your reply. 

    I just realised thre NAS has 2x lan port. So I should be able to connect port1 on the NAS to the ISP modem and then port2 on the NAS to the Red device lan port and set a different ip range for the Red lan. Then establish vpn to the main site.

    Maybe this solution could work ok, or XG firewall as you suggested.

    Kind regards
