NordVPN and Sophos Site-To-Site IPSEC VPN.

I have an XG-125 firewall with support for the next 5-6 years. I have an IPSEC site-to-site VPN set up to our corporate servers network from this firewall. When I use ExpressVPN on my PC I can access our corporate servers at "10.bla.bla.bla" using any Windows application (telnet, RDP, sFTP, etc). However, when I use NordVPN (or any other PC based VPN except ExpressVPN) I am blocked from accessing anything at "10.bla.bla.bla". The site-to-site VPN isn't useful at all.

Does anyone know why this is? Thanks in advance.

Hello Bill_H,

Thank you for reaching out to the Sophos community, First of all talking about the "ExpressVPN & NordVPN" this both are global VPN service providers.
Which helps you uninterrupted streaming with a a huge range of region-locked streaming services and unblocking geo-restricted services from abroad. And of course they have some differences in regards to the service they have to offer. They are install and play services on the endpoints.

Where as the Sophos IPsec Site-to-Site VPN can help you intern connect between the two org OR HO-BO location OR home-to-office & vice-versa...
based on the rules you create or the networks you allow.
